Reno to Alaska

Great News! We are out of British Columbia and into the Yukon! I've always wanted to see the Yukon since it sounded so mysterious and far far away, full of wild people and big mountains. The scenery is fantastic with snow covered mountains and tree filled valleys made all the more easy to enjoy by having good roads with few bumps. It was slow going in northern BC with roads that had many potholes and only mildly better then gravel covering them. But we are having an amazing time. We are stopping tonight in the capital of the Yukon which is called Whitehorse. The trip is taking a few days longer then expected but who knew the world was so big (especially British Columbia!) tomorrow we should be in Alaska and if all goes well, Anchorage the day after. As you have probably guessed internet is scarce in some parts and getting a regular blog put up is tough. Hope you are enjoying reading. Taking pics along the way here are a few.

The praying mantis in Chetwynd, BC. International chainsaw carving championship is in Chetwynd, pretty crazy stuff.

  3. Sato, the sign post forest was pretty neat. We had no clue that it was such a big deal in the Yukon and part of the Al-Can trip. Sure wish we had made a sign for us to post.... Maybe next time :)
    I will have to get Mark to post more of the chainsaw sculptures, they are so cool! The tour guide book says the town has more sculptures than people. Every year, people from all over the world come to compete in their big chainsaw contest. One gentlemen was even from Japan!
