Tok, Alaska!



ALASKA!!!
Blogger is haveing trouble up loading pictures again so look on the side for more mounians! ->

Alaska Ho!! We are in Tok!
We did another cold out house! This one was 8 below I don't care if its a dry -8 it still cold! We stopped to get gas and have a bathroom break, but the 'washrooms' (thats what their called up here) were out of order. In other words they where frozen! So the lady sent us “Up the road about ¼ kilometer is an outie that you can use.” BRR! If her bathrooms are frozen what did she think the out house is?!?!?!? The wind really doesn't blow so it doesn't feel so cold.
The border went smoothly nobody had to get out of the car. It feels good to be in the U.S. again!
The road goes in patches, it'll be clean and then covered in ice. There are frost heaves every where on the road. Giving you the feeling of riding a bucking horse, not only do we have to bump over in the Sub but then the trailer goes over and we bump again.
Enjoy the Pictures this is what I've got to look at for the past three days.-> -> ->
This morning we were driving past a lake surrounded by mountains. We where listing to Selah sing How Great Thou Art and the song took on a whole new meaning for me. The writer had to have been looking at a scene like that in order to have written that powerful song.

I was directed to your blog by a mutual friend of ours, James. He and I rode many miles together a couple years back.

I moved up here to this state that defines the word "awesome" some 20 months ago.

I have never been over to the Tok area, but it is certainly on my list. You'll find your "want to go to" list grow quickly. Only so many months in the year to see this huge awesome place.

Get in touch with me when you get here. lbrunk3@hotmail.com
