We have really been pushing to put the Kilometers and Miles behind us. We left Johnsons Crossing and went up and over the mountain, I mean UP and DOWN the mountains. Actually, this is the same road we traveled on the way up. When you go the other way, you see things from a different perspective and things you never saw before.
We saw a lot of wild life along the way.
A herd of Bison. It may be the same herd we saw on the way up. They all look alike.
A family of Sheep.
That night we stayed at Toad River Camp Ground. The same campground we stayed in on the way up to Alaska. The site we stayed in has unbelievable views. Too bad we could not stay longer.
The next stop was Dawson Creek (Mile 0 of the Alcan Highway). Again, the same campsite as we stopped in on the way up.
After a grueling ride we stopped south of Edmonton, Alberta for the night. The next day we made a dash for the US boarder. At around 4:30 PM we crossed into the US without any problems. There was nothing but more flat land between the boarder and Great Falls, Montana. So after a 500 mile day, we found a campsite in Great Falls. This is a really nice town. We even stayed an extra day to have the truck serviced, oil and fuel filters changed, and to rest.
There is so much to do in Montana, it is on our To Do list, but for now we have to get to Kansas to have work done on the camper.
So here we sit in 96 degree heat, with both A/C’s on, trying to keep cool after complaining about the cold in Alaska.
Even so.
Life is good on the Roan Road.
