Sue:

Phil covered our journey this year pretty well, and I don't have much to add except that at times we were wondering what in heavens name made us do this trip again. We always tell people the Alaskan Highway isn't as bad as they may have heard, and I still think this is true, but traveling through Canada before April may not be the best idea.

I have some pictures to share, though, from the trip. In Montana, we stayed at an RV park so we could get our last shower for a few days, and I was taking the dogs for a walk in their designated pet area. I don't know how the dogs missed it, but I felt something watching me, turned around and saw this:

When I took Phil back to see the cat, there were two more cats hanging out on the hill. I got too close and scared them away.

Now here's a picture that looks a lot like something you'd find on the cover of the Weekly World News. It could be Bigfoot.

I guess it could be a moose. Maybe.

And then there's Toad River. We've stopped here the past three years to gas up, and I know I've gone inside before. But they really do have the largest ball cap collection I've ever seen (how many others have I seen? Um, my sister's?). I don't know about the "world famous" part, but it was impressive.I didn't have my camera inside, but there must have been thousands of hats. I guess people who visit give them to the collection. Phil saw two Penn State caps among them. Neato.

And now we're just kicking back in our RV, watching X-Files and waiting to get to work. They told us we'd start on April 2nd, but we're going to be starting on Monday. I guess there's some serious cleaning to do. What fun!
