It's been a few days (Monday) since we had internet connection. The Alaskan Highway is in really good shape but got sort of lonely once we left Liard Hot Springs. In fact there weren't hardly any oodges, gas stations, etc. open so we tanked up about halfway to Whitehorse (at a lodge we had planned on spending the night at) and drove all the way in..about 405 miles.
I like rustic but this place was way beyond that. .. It had the feel of "The Last Frontier" as the Yukon likes to be known. Whitehorse is (for the Yukon) a big city and has plenty of services including a WalMart - - which, as we know, says you've made it if your town has one. We're glad because we had a lot of shopping to do for food and other items we didn't want to pack. Skagway is very small (850 pop) and thus has limited, and expensive, goods. However we'll still need to pick up bread / mile / etc. there after stocking the Honda with hard goods and two pillows.
It's right at freezing with a fair breeze blowing so for Florida folks you bundle up like eskimos and look like tourists.
This blog is being written in a coffee shop which has computers. We've been thru a number of shops and hotels and nobody has .. or even really seems to care about .. wireless. Oh well.
