Days One and Two

Two days on the Alaska Highway, in northern British Columbia.  The trip has begun!

Wildlife, bumpy roads, camping in rest stops. Even the rain has finally quit.  It's all very good. 

And so a short song

The First Two Days of the Alaska Highway
  On the first two days in BC,
  Oh here is what we saw,
  Eight hundred skeeters,
  Seven buff'lo ambling,
  Six hundred miles,
  Five bears a-leaping,
  Four moose calves moosing,
  Three stone sheep grazing,
  Two nights in rest stops,
  And some RV parts along the road.


Tomorrow we enter the Yukon Territory.  Having just finished reading Jack London's Call of the Wild, I feel fully prepared.

Wow! You are there! So exciting! How is the insect situation? I always hear that the mosquitos are as big as birds. Have you missed insect season?
