Hello from the Yukon

This outhouse was COLD!^^^^^^ It was -4 oF and everyone had to pee (thus the line). They had these little outhouses beside the road. The gas station bathrooms (if they where open)looked pretty good compared to this! ^_^

Lots of wild life today I saw a silver fox and Moriah saw two red fox. We saw Elk and Caribou, the Buffalo where grazing right beside the road and some where on the road. Two of them where so close we could have touched them! Although I didn't have the nerve, those things are HUGE!!! We all saw two Moose (Dad still saw them first^~^). Only one allowed its picture to be taken.

The scenery is amazing! The road goes close to some really steep drop offs, I don't like that. John on the other hand Loves this! He is always looking out the front window and gasping at each new scene.

I have read The Oath by Frank Pretti. The book takes place in a mountain valley. I keep wondering when we will get to "Hyde Vally" and "Saddlehorse mountain." Note to all who want to read this book: Do Not read in the dark or in a mountain setting, this is not good for your nerves.

The Alaskan Highway is covered in packed snow and ice. Last night it snowed a light powdery snow. So now all the crazy log truck drivers who drive 80 mph create a mini blizzard that results in a short term white out.

When we left at 8:30 am it was still dark and by 4:00 pm it was starting to get dark again. We reached the Yukon today, and hope to be in Alaska by Sunday! Daddy has don all of the driving so far and he has done a marvelous job!
