We left New England exactly 4 months ago today.
We have traveled through eighteen states and three Canadian provinces. The temperatures have ranged from 95 to 45 degrees, with rain, snow, hail, more rain, and baking hot sun. We have seen amazing mountain ranges, glaciers and glacial lakes and crossed the mighty Yukon River a bunch of times. We swam everywhere possible including the Yukon and Klondike Rivers…okay we single dunked in the Klondik…brrrrrr. We have camped in state parks, city parks, gravel pits and on river banks. We dipped our toes in the Arctic Ocean and crossed the Arctic Circle four times. We spent weeks in the far north where the sun doesn’t set and your brain gets a bit fuzzy from lack of sleep. We have been lucky enough to spot wolves, grizzly bears, black bears, lynx, artic fox, musk ox, moose, caribou, sea otters, sea lions, harbour seals, too many cool birds and wild flowers to list and mosquitoes that I could have put a saddle on and ridden. We have met amazing people and found a few new friends.
What will the next four months bring?
What a trip–I envy you!
The map puts it in great perspective! Too bad you didn’t drive out to key west while in Florida. Anxious to hear what adventures are in store next…
