my photos are right off the camera and John shot his in vivid mode, they  have not been photo-shopped


Who wouldn't love gravel pit camping when you wake up to these kinds of vistas!
















 Trumpeter Swans


We entered the small town of Beaver Creek, Yukon

















This was my first time seeing a moose with antlers. The male was certainly more skiddish than the female. When we stopped, he bolted into the woods, she remained on the side of the road and continued to eat. Slowly he came out and ate. As another car slowed down, he bolted again,










This is the border between Canada and the US. You can see the dividing line for miles and miles,





I left another Ben's Bell on this Alaska sign.



Our next stop was Tok, Alaska. We stopped into The Jack Wade Gold Company, a jewelry store which had gold nuggets for you to see and hold IF you had read the travel guides and asked to see them.



After picking up some groceries and gas, we are back on the road again.





The quintessential moose shot I am been dreaming of.





Caribou in the distance, had to use my long distance lens and really zoom in to find it.


We have arrived in Chicken, Alaska!

















Let's strike it rich so John can retire!





No luck!














I feel sorry for you if this is your only claim to fame.

Can you believe it is 11:30 at night?

We are still under a fire ban. These propane fire pits sure are coming in handy!
