I know it's been a while since I posted. I had a post while we were in Clackamas, staying at a BnB while we were getting some upgrades to our house. But apparently it didn't take. Here are some before and after shots.
Before: saggy upholstery
All in all, the upgrades were well worth the wait. I was sooooo happy to get my house back and sleep in my own bed again!
After we got our house, we headed out of Clackamas, Oregon straight on the road north. After a few days, we arrived at the beginning of the Alaska Highway here at Dawson Creek, BC. Check out the video all about it.
The next stop was Fort Nelson, where we spent two days chilling out and washing the dust off of the trailer. After that, we headed towards Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Along the way, we stopped for the night in Watson Creek at Tags' RV Park. Across the street from Tags is a popular tourist destination:
This was all started when a GI working on the Alaska Highway made a sign for his hometown of Danville, Illinois. Others began making one for their hometown as well, and a tourist attraction was born! They encourage people who are coming this way to bring one of their own. Or, you can buy one and make it to put up. Me, I just took pictures. Those are free!
There are signs along the Alaska Highway, too, warning you of the dangers of wildlife hanging about. There are moose, caribou, bear, and wood bison in these areas from British Columbia through the Yukon. Sometimes there are big horn sheep. We only saw bear, moose, and bison. They are on the side of the road, so if you are the only car, you can pull off and take a quick picture. If not, you need to snap on the go. Them's the rules here.
Anyone got a bologna sandwich?
See? Literally on the side of the road!
And don't forget there was also beautiful scenery as well: mountains and lakes and valleys. Enjoy! Ya'll come back! 😉
