| The Alaska Highway is almost 2,000 miles of fantastic beauty. | A view from a pull-over. |
 |
 |
| Another view from the pull-over. Note the fireweed. It lined the road for nearly the whole drive. | It's a wild, desolate, gripping far place up there. |

 |
| Muncho Lake Campground in British Columbia, one of our favorites.We parked the car behind Moby to enjoy the view from inside the trailer. | This is the view, icy green Muncho Lake. |

| Here is the most luxurious outdoor phone I used for a computer hookup during the trip. It was a satellite phone, very slow, but sure beat nothing at all. | Signs like this for caribou, moose, and bear range along the highway. We did see caribou, moose, and both black and grizzly bears as we drove along. |

Welcome to Yukon Territory - we were coming from British Columbia.
|
However, after passing through Whitehorse, we left the Alaska Highway in the Yukon to take the Haines Highway to Haines, Alaska. This is Chilkat Pass at the top of Haines Highway. From here it's all downhill to Haines. |
 |
 |
| Haines, like many northern towns, is tucked at the bottom of a mountain range. We took a ferry to Skagway for a day, and here we come home again to Haines. | Living in a small trailer calls for creativity. |
 |
 |
| What's so fine as a meal al fresco with a mountain view? Chicken salad tastes like pheasant under glass out here. | Throughout the Far North are these braided rivers. Braided rivers spread out over a wide bed and make a constantly changing pattern of streams that split and join. |
