Log Cabin Wilderness Lodge Tok

... Fairbanks to see a doctor.<br><br>We went for a ride around some of the back roads near camp and went to some gift shops. The clerk at one of them directed us to look around the side of the shop where three Husky puppies were for sale. They were darling! Sorry, no pictures of the pooches. I can't waste precious disk space on such frivolity. There are so many more worthwhile things to photograph ...

... and lots of fireweed down the roadside hills. <br><br><br><br><br>The Sourdough Campground has nice camp spots; lots of trees. Had their dinner&#8212;reindeer chili and corn chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. The bread was wonderful but there wasn't enough of ...

... Ken. <br><br>We called Jessica to let her know we would be in tomorrow and also talked to a very excited Riley who asked, &#8220;Grandma, are you in your trailer?&#8221; When they were with us in Texas, Riley enjoyed going out to the trailer on the hundreds of trips it took to load up. Yes, having a shadow slowed down the process but the enjoyment was spending time with her. . <br><br>Tomorrow will be a long drive &#8211; 325 miles. Jessica will ...

... br><br><br><br>We continued on through Burwash landing which is just a blip in the road and home to the Southern Tutchone people of the Kluane Indians (Kluane First Nation). They built a trading post here in the early 1900s and essentially that is the only business today. Beaver Creek was the next small town that we passed ...

... rest. Felt good! Tomorrow we are going to Chicken. Monday we will probably head toward Fairbanks. It sure is beautiful here! The weather has been great as well. It appears my e-mails are not going out. I am receiving them OK though. It is a Charter issue, thought I had it fixed before we left. Hope all is well back home. More later!

Ok, I was exteremely tired on my last entry, so I forgot to tell about some key events and places. The first was that there is heavy construction between Glenallen, Alaska and the Canadian Border. We had to stop and wait for times up to 45 minutes, then follow a pace car for a long ways. In the hot sun, it would have been torturous ...

... 4.0 earthquake that was recorded just three weeks ago and an enormous landslide in the park last year that registered 4.3 on the Richter Scale! We continued on the lonely highway, only occasionally passing other vehicles - over half of which are RV's. Even with all the RV's, there's problem with traffic - if you get stuck behind one going 50mph on the two-lane road, the highway ...

... I did have to show him DC power outlet on in E-Glide. Well, I'm getting rid of my back-packer air mattress' for sure. I do ride a Harley Electra Glide for Pete sake! I can probably sell my 'mini' mattress' to some BMW Adventure rider:) It was a great evening. Bob is just one example of the many great people I have met from all over the world while on this trip. This trip has been great.

... to fill with Gas and maybe stay because it had been a long day with the road works and the constant roller coaster ride. The RV park associated with the gas station was a little "worn" so climb aboard and cross the border and see what turns up. We crossed the border back into the USA with no problems and found a park around ten miles in. Here we are, not 5 star but adequate and a little step above Beaver Creek. Tomorrow Anchorage, the real target of Alaska.

... to the dogs, I went to the main stage of the campground to have dinner and watch and ol' time country music concert put on by a local band. Though I'm not a big country music fan, I did enjoy the concert, especially when they played some Jonny Cash. The dinner was some of the best food I've had all trip. For $10 you get a sourdough bread bowl filled with reindeer chili and a piece of home baked pie. I wish we could stay another day just for the meal and ...
