We made it to Alaska!

Yesterday we crossed the border from Canada to Alaska. The internet connection hasn’t been stable enough for me to get this up before now.

The frost heaves have no nationality, they don’t discriminate between Canada and the US. For a taste of the drive, take a Dramamine and watch this short video clip. https://youtu.be/wEAT99T2Dz8

On both sides of the border there was a lot of road work going on to do the repairs, and even some research into how to best combat the freezing and thawing of the permafrost due to climate change and the effects on the road.

However, the views of the Wrangell mountains were incredible along the drive.

Unfortunately the clouds moved in as we headed north, making it difficult to tell between the snow-capped mountains and the clouds.

But the long days are pretty awesome, this was our campground at 11:30 at night.
