Not all of us made it up with the sun today but that was OK as we had a shorter travel day than usual. We went from Destruction Bay Yukon Territory to Delta Junction Alaska. It was a shorter trip but the first 140 miles were tough. Lots of frost heaves and gravel road on the ALCAN. We looked like we were dodging incoming mortar attacks as we moved all over the road to try and find smooth sailing. We finally crossed back into the USA and gas dropped a little to about $3.50 a gallon. There is currently a lot of smoke in Alaska from wild fires and it makes it a little hard to get the full picture of the scenery but it is still good. Tomorrow off to the Arctic Circle. We traveled 335 miles today.
