Day 24

Friday- I guess you could say we are now officially on our way home. We left Fairbanks this morning and headed east for 200 miles to Tok. We had another tire that wanted to retire so I changed it before it did any damage. We bought another tire in Tok. Had the tire mounted on the rim, put in place and filled with gas in 20 minutes. I know for Nascar that would be slow but I thought it was rather fast considering you need to pay for it too. From there we went north to Chicken, uphill all the way till we were above the tree line. Got a site that has satellite Wifi so I could upload two blogs but it is so slow it’s a chore to get email let alone send any. We are 40 miles from the Canadian border but we are told it is all narrow dirt road with switch backs and steep uphill grades with no guide rail. This will be the end of Alaska for us until Monday when we stop at Steward/Hyder and give our final goodbye.


The end of the Alaskan Highway. We drove every one
of those miles.
