Clinton, BC to Omak, Washington

Tomorrow we will be home.

A few reflections:

v     The fearsome Alaskan mosquito was not a factor

v     We didn’t need a gun or bear spray

v     The roads were better than expected

o       The challenging sections were part of the mystique, we hope they’re never smoothed out

v     Gas management took some forethought, but not too much

o       We only heard the “ding” once

o       Carrying an extra 5 gallons was a precautionary measure, but we didn’t need it

v     Campgrounds are charming, RV parking lots, less so

v     Visitor’s Centers are worth a stop

v     Cell phone coverage was spotty, WiFi was widely available, but often slow

v     Take the side roads, always

v     Bears and bald eagles never get boring

v     Alaska and Yukon Territory are the best kind of zoo

v     One month of togetherness in close quarters? No problem!
