Tomorrow, Monday, June 2nd is a BIG Day

Since our last post we have been traveling in British Columbia, Canada. We have stayed in Oliver, Clinton and now Prince George, BC for a couple days. We drove due north, right up the Okanaga Valley. It is an extremely fertile area of Canada with many orchards, vineyards and produce fields, rimmed on the East by the Rockies and on the West by the Cascades, both of which still have snow on them! The scenery has really been beautiful.

Tomorrow we travel approximately 260 miles (otherwise known as 418 kilometers) to Dawson Creek. This is milepost 0 (zero) of the Alaska Highway, which actually begins here in Canada. This truly is where the adventure begins!

We will travel the ALCAN to it's terminus in Delta Junction, Alaska (approximately 1400 miles) with many side trips along the way. At that point we will continue on to Fairbanks and an airplane flight to Barrow, AK, far above the Arctic Circle. Eventually we will start south and the return trip will be a combination of driving, to points like Denali, Anchorage, Homer, Valdez, Kenai, Seward, etc.) and sailing on the Alaska Marine Highway, which is the series of ferry boats that will take us south through the Inside Passage.

As you can see, we have a VERY ambitious, yet EXCITING summer ahead of us.

Please travel along with us via this blog. We will try to update as often as possible, just understand that sometimes the availability of Internet is problematic.

We love to see your comments here and also to receive your emails. Currently, while we are in Canada, we are without cell service, as roaming charges are quite prohibitive. After arriving in Alaska on June 11th we will hopefully have cell phone availability some times.

We miss you all and you are certainly in our thoughts.

Stay safe and take care,

P&J
