Left Dawson City at around 9 this morning. Crossed on the small ferry to the Top of the World Highway. Never been there, so was as exciting for me as it was Kristin. Fall in settling into the landscape. The hills are beginning to turn crimson and the leaves are turning brilliant yellow. As we neared Alaska, the colours became more vivid.
Above, is the end of the Alaska Highway. The beginning is Dawson Creek - Mile 0. Above is the end!! This is in Delta Junction, AK.
Here is the ribbon of road. The road was actually pretty good if you discounted the potholes in which you could see hades! And on the AK side, the road was similar to the Fish Lake Road in Whitehorse. But, all in all, considering where we were, it was not too bad. I did have a stroke of ill luck when I ran into a caravan of about 18 RV's and had to pass them all. Yuck. Other than that, there wasn't very much traffic.
There ain't nobody here but us chickens. Our first stop, Chicken Alaska. Always wanted to visit this lovely little town!
Currently in Fairbanks where we will stay tomorrow to visit all the places on Kristin's list. And the weather is fabulous! Till tomorrow,

As you travel and have a good holiday, which looks beautiful so far. Dawson is getting ready to start school on Wednesday. Grade 6. You see the leaves starting to turn color, I have a YARD (no joke) full of them today. (I am not impressed!) Have fun on your trip. Tomorrow we are off to see the big kielbassa-ohhhh, eh! Take care.
