We've  been on the road for just over 2 weeks and have come over 4000 miles to Alaska. We are in Fairbanks tonight and will be here for a few days before going on to Denali National Park. The following pictures are all from crossing Canada - which was very nice. 

Claresholm, Alberta, Canada had been the site of the largest Canadian pilot training camp for WW2 and then into the 60's. We camped in the city park, and this was there as a memorial to pilots who served the nation.

We arrived at Muncho Lake, British Columbia on a very cold, windy, and overcast afternoon with light snow flurries. We were completely enamored and wandered the shore all afternoon and then again in the morning.
