Before we start home I want to show you my big Silver Salmon. They were really hard to catch. I guess I'll show you one of Carl and Jiggs with their big salmons.
I can't believe our once in a lifetime trip is over and we are heading home. What a great trip. First night out we stopped at this campground that had a place for Carl and I to hike. When we got to the top we took a pic of the campground.
The fall colors are outstanding and the wildlife was plentiful. We are on our way to the TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY.
The top of the world highway has one town called Chicken, it has a total of 8 people in the summer and 2 in the winter. We pulled into Chicken and watched our front tire go flat. The gas station attendant/fire chief/ambulance driver/sheriff had a plug we could use to get us back on the road.
The road outside of Chicken was prettys bad with a million switch backs but the scenary was outstanding.
Along the road we encountered prospectors, hunting camps and many hunters on four wheelers as hunting season had just gotten underway.
We are now in the Yukon heading to Dawson city.
Looking down on the Yukon river and Dawson city. It was really a cool view.
The only way to get to Dawson city is to put all the vehicles on this fairy and cross the Yukon River
.
Dawson city is one of the old gold mining towns. While there we went to a girly show and checked out all the old buildings in town. It is pretty cool that they still have their wooden sidewalks.
A couple beautiful pics as we drove along the Yukon river heading for Watson Lake to check on our sign we posted on our way to Alaska.
We are now at the end of the road with Cynthia And Jiggs in Dawson Creek, BC. Tomorrow we will be heading for Winnipeg MB to see my brother and nephews. Cynthia and Jiggs will be heading to the lower 48 on their way home.
On our way to my brothers we found the greatest campsite, very secluded, not another camper around. We cooked out and watched the sun set.
When we arrived at my brothers we had this gorgeous homemade apple pie waiting for us. Carl could hardly wait to dive into it. My brother is such a great cook.
The final pic - my brother and his gorgeous, sweet boys.
Our trip was magnificent, I wouldn't change a thing about it. We are now home with months of work to do on our house and yard. I guess it's true if you play you pay. It was definitely worth it. Thanks for coming along on our trip.
I do have one more picture for you. Do you remember me talking about a buble gum wall in Seattle, WA in the first post. Well here it is. I love this. Most people thinik it's gross.
