6/29- Left Destruction bay for Delta Junction, ALASKA. Arrived the Great State of Alaska at 12:58 PM on June 29, 2009. No animal sitings today. This was the trip from hell. The Alaskan Highway from Whitehorse to the Alaskan border is terrible. . The frost heaves and rips it apart to no end. Rocking and rolling so bad I had to almost stop. I drove about 30mph or less for about 4 hours or my springs would have been broke like the Bighorn at Jakes yesterday. Arrived at Smith’s Green Acres rv park. Nice place with everything even a place to wash the truck and trailer tomorrow. They are covered with mud from the Canadian side. They fix 6 or 7 miles at a time and we have to drive right through it. It’s either mud or “Extremely dusty” That’s off the sign.
Tomorrow we drive only 100 miles to Fairbanks. We’re going to try to get into Eielson AFB rv park. There is also a park in Fairbanks that is on a long narrow lake and the float planes come and go right in front of the park. Might try that one for a day or so.
