Don

May 12th moved trailer to daughter Randee's property. Don has been busy doing chores around the place. On the 12th he installed new kitchen sink faucet and water lines so she could have a working kitchen sink, on the 13th he plumbed in a outside water faucet. Today he plans on fixing a leak from the shower that is creating puddle under the trailer. So he can't say he has nothing to do.

Arrived in Fairbanks at 4 pm May 11th to find that no RV parks open till Memorial Day except for one that opens on the 16th. Spent the night in Pioneer Park/Alaska Land parking lot we will move trailer and set up on Randee's property.

Will get to see Sarah graduate and see a few people we hope.

May 8th on the road again.

Stopped at Teslin Lake for lunch then on to Whitehorse where we spent the night at Caribou RV Park.

May 9th on the road again.

Brunch at Haines Jct. From there the road was mostly gravel and rough as could be. So wash bosrdy thought we were going to shake the rv totally apart. Down to 10 1nd 15 miles per hour. We did see 3 brown bear, a sow and two cubs.

We got into Tok Alaska abt 6:30 pm and parked at Sourdough RV. Going to stay a day or two rest up do laundry and play catch up before moving on to Fairbsnks.

Made it! They piloted us through the fire area with the fire burning on both sides of the highway. We are in Fort Nelson for the night,

I am posting pictures of the fire just out of Fort St John/ The pictures are not the best because there was no stopping allowed so shooting was done through dirty windshield.

May 4th we departed Sumas WA and crossed the Canadian Border at 7 am with no problem. We spent the night in Williams Lake BC Canada. On the 5th of May, we traveled to Chetwynd BC Canada to spend the night. When we arrived there we were informed the Alaska Hwy was closed 50 miles north of Fort Nelson due to wildfires.

Tomorrow we will move closer to Fort Nelson and see what is happening and if we can get through.

We very much enjoyed our visit in Vancouver WA. We departed there the morning of May 3rd and spent the night of May 3rd in Sumas, WA.

We are departing Sumas this morning Mat 4th and will be crossing into Canada. So phones will be in airplane mode and internet will be spotty for the next few days.

Love ya all.

On April 30th we moved from Sweet Home, OR to Vancouver WA.

On May 1st we attended barbecue at Rick and Cindy's house. John, Kellie and Elle were there. We had  wonderful visit with all.

Monday May 2nd was a day for errands as we are moving further north in the morning,
