Road Trip North

The day after Easter Laura, Nelson and I headed north to Alaska.  The first day we drove just north of Fort Saint John B.C.  We had nice weather and good roads.

Stone Sheep near Toad River
 We also saw some elk and bighorn sheep in Jasper National Park, and quite a few deer everywhere else along the road.  The second day we drove to just past Whitehorse, YT.   This day we saw moose, caribou, stone sheep, and of course deer.

Caribou near Muncho Lake
 We woke up on the third day to a very frosty morning, about 19 degrees.  We were in Fairbanks, AK by 2 pm on the third day.
Laura and Nelson "enjoying" the drive.
 All in all the trip went well with no problems or bad weather and went by fairly fast.  The only complaint was the price of gas, close to $6.00 a gallon in Canada.
