Alaska: Day 5 (9 June 09)

Our longest day yet. The GS's odometer called it 605 miles, but it sure felt like more. We're on schedule, though, our worn-out selves parked in Fort Nelson -- another Canadian town that has failed to impress.

Not a lot to write about ... I'm bushed. The ride -- especially coming on the heels of the Icefields Parkway -- was unspectacular, to say the least. Lots of trees.

Photos...

Dawson Creek, where the Alaskan Highway begins.

Okay, I've now seen the world's largest beaver...

Poor fella ... send beer!

Along a stretch of the old Alaskan Highway. This is like the only curved wooden bridge in the world or something -- google it if you want the facts (instead of my speculation).
