Today we traveled through Yukon Territory and crossed the border back into the USA! The Alcan Highway is famous because of this stretch of roads. We rode the rollercoaster for hours. The road is full of potholes and huge bumps followed by curves and long stretches of gravel. I kept the speed up on the car just for fun. The cats really enjoyed all the bouncing around, I think because it rocked them to sleep.

If you have driven through Death Valley, these roads make Death Valley seem like a drive down I-10 in Florida. The bumps were easily 2-3 feet high and came in patterns especially designed to jar your teeth.

The Canada/Alaska border was pretty cool. There’s a bit of history there regarding the border, and you can stand in Canada and in the US at the same time (I don’t know why that seems cool).

We’re stayed in Tok, Alaska, at a nice campground. Alaska is impressive and so far looks a lot like the Yukon, only with much better roads and cheaper gas. By the way, gas in Canada is about CDN$1.25 per liter, which equates to about US$4.60 per gallon. It’s even more expensive in the more remote areas (duh). On the Alaska side of the border, we paid about $3.10 per gallon. Glad we don’t drive a Hummer.
