June 24 and 24 Alaska HighwayJune

June 23 we begin out trek up the Alaska Highway.  This is our little caravan.

First night of dry camping.  We stopped at a Provincial Park next to the Prophet River. The park  is also the location of an abandoned air field that was used by the US Army in 1942 as a staging area for construction of the Alaska Highway.
Photos taken along the Alaska Highway where we spotted mountain sheep.  This is more like it.



Evening of June 24th we stop at the Toad River Lodge and Campground at mile 422 Alaska Highway.  We backed our campers up to the lake created by beavers that had dammed the Toad River.  View from our rear window.


Moose watching from our camper.  That really is a moose across the lake



Did we mention how bad the mosquitoes are?

Having Fun..
