Day14

Tuesday – We made it to Tok today but what a trip! The scenery was beautiful, as you will see in the pictures but the frost heaves were horrible. Some were that bad that we had to slow down to 20 miles per hour so we could stay in our seats. I know some of you young guys would think it sweet to see a fully loaded motor home getting air but when you land it is not a good feeling. And I am not into making more repairs after yesterday. By the way we had about 350 miles of this with 125 miles in the very severe category! This was in the area of the coldest recorded temperatures in Canada at -84 degrees. This area also sees more than half of the days a year below freezing. It was 50 degrees this morning when we got up and as we drove west it got colder. There was a very strong cold wind with cloudy skies which kept the temperatures down most of the day. Tonight here at the campsite it is very nice with the temperature in the upper sixties. We are now in Alaska to stay for approximately 10 days. A dream come true after 25 years. Thanks to our church family for allowing us to experience our dreams. Thank you very
much!
