Greetings from Tok, Alaska

on the ferry, with beautiful scenery

Scenes on the road to Tok
By sea and land,  through dust, gravel patches, frost heaves, and bumps, we have arrived in Tok.  With four ferry trips this last week to visit Juneau, Sitka, and back to Haines, we are becoming pros at ferry travel. The inland passage has beautiful scenery.  Our pickup was waiting for us on returning to Haines.  Then came the long ride, first to Haines Junction and then to Tok today.  We experienced the worst roads on this part of the trip.  Up and down, dodging holes, and dips, it was more than I could enjoy.

Grizzl

The Lord provided a couple of exciting moments, however.  A grizzly bear on the side of the road having a lunch of flowers, and later a moose taking a bath in a shallow lake.  It made the trip worthwhile.  And I must not forget the cache that Mo found in Tok.

One of the annoying things in staying in different motels in our travels, is where the T-paper is located. I try to remember to check it out before going to bed, so I don't have to search for it during the night.  It can be behind me on right or left, on the side, either right or left, or in front.  Maybe the gov't will make some regulation on that too, in the future!   Goodnight!   Nell

  1. A grizzly?! Wow!! What an amazing time! Hot and dry here still. 103 yesterday and supposed to be like that all week. Baseball is done for Kevin, Shane has gone back to the Academy, and Cindy is starting school, sort of. :-} At least it is something to do as we stay inside on these hot days! Jilanne got to see a C-section, and Sara is busy working and studying. We love you!!
