Greetings from Fairbanks Alaska

We have been out of commission these last few days, staying at places in the wilderness versus commercial RV parks.   It has been an incredible few days.   Let me show you the beautiful wildlife we have seen right along the road

 We saw about 5 different packs along the road

 Stone Sheep, they were in the middle of the road when we came around a corner and we had to stop

  Heards of Buffalo or as they call them in the Yuson, Bison.   This big boy had just rolled in the dirt for a dirt bath, it is how they clear off their winter coats

We think this was an Elk, there were two of them, but they ran off when we drove by 

This was a large  grey wolf.    We talked to other people that saw him on the road too and they said that it is rare to site one, and probably this one was sick because it was on the side of the road, panting.  Tom was sure it was rabid, and that we should call someone, but we were in the middle of no where with no signal.   He worried about this wolf for hours.

We even saw a German shepherd running along the highway.  At this part of the highway,, we only saw another car about ever 12 hour.  And it was close to a road that must have lead to a house.

We stopped at this bluff and had lunch.   What a view?

Saw so many beautiful  places 

Drove along this partially  frozen lake for miles.  It was about 20 feet from the road.

  I think Brandon should make one of these picnic benches for their backyard.  It was so cool.

Despite the graffiti, this vista was beautiful

Stay the night in Liard Hot Springs.  You had to walk about 1/2 mile to the along this wooden path through a bog.  

In one day we went from the Yukon Territories, back in to British Columbia into the Yukon, back to BC the back into the Yukon

We stopped at the  Sign Post Forrest where there are 72,000 signs.  I walked around for an hour, and saw Pleasanton and Fremont, but not Dublin.   It could have been there somewhere, but I didn't see one

 These are my friends from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.   I helped them hang a shirt, which was really now allowed, it has to be a sign, but we didn't care.  We had fun

We drove on and stopped again to hike to these beautiful waterfalls.  We did see snow on the ground, ,even though it was 80 out.

We had to hike along a wooden walkway for about 1/2 mile in, we were the only ones there.  We had our bear spray

It was well worth the walk.   So beautiful.

Another selfie.

Most of the day,  we were the only ones on the highway again.  The drive and the majestic mountains along the way kept us enthralled in the view.  No radio no outside distractions, just us enjoying this once in a lifetime adventure.   We drove about 300 along these mountains.

These are from Tuesday and Wednesday.  I have not downloaded Thursday or Friday's pictures  yet.

Here is my barn pictures for the day.  Love them

This was one off many deserted businesses in the Yukon that have tried to make a go of it, but just up and left it deserted.   There were probably about 50 of these along the way

Its a hard life for these folks.  

We are heading to Denali National Park tomorrow so don't know what I will be able to post.   We are back in the USA so we have phone service and email.   Feel free to contact me for now.  If we are within a service area, I can respond    More  adventures to come in Denali.
