OK, so, it's been a while. Sue me. LOL. I got back from my Alaska trip on the 6th and been kinda busy. (Well it sounds good.) Haven't been that busy just lazy I guess. I have to be in the right mood to post or it doesn't come out good.
Anyway the trip to Alaska was better than I imagined it could be. Seeing the kids was GREAT and Dakota kept me entertained from the time I arrived till I left. She is so sweet and lovable you just can't get enough of her.
As I posted we took a trip up the Dalton Hwy. The trip was around 800 miles total and we had a good time. The first night we spent in Wiseman, Ak at a bed & breakfast. The cabin we rented was adjoined to another cabin by the bathroom so we had to share the bathroom. No big deal just knock before entering and all's well. The next night Katie was hoping we had our own bathroom and she got her wish. It was right out back of the cabin. A one room delight. (Yep an outhouse) But it was all our own !!!!! LOL. No running water to the cabin. If you wanted a shower you could run over to the inn and use the shared shower room. But we had our own Toilet.
We traveled up over the Artic Circle and the Contintal Divide to Atigun's pass. It was very rugged country and not a lot of places to stop and spend money. (No big tourist trap here. Just wide open country.)
If you go on this trip try to carry enough gas from Fairbanks to make a round trip as the gas in Fairbanks was &3.99 a gallon and the price on the Dalton Hwy. at the Coldfoot Truck Stop was $5.39 a gallon. Yep we bought $100.00 worth to make it back to civilation again.
We stopped at a few streams and fished for Graylings and even caught a few. One place we stopped Levi was showing off and catching them one right after another.
I put a few pics of the trip. One is of the area they call the roller coaster, another is of Atigun Pass and others are just some of the places like Oh Shit Corner.
Tired of typing now so we will stop for now and you all will have to wait till I feel it in my fingers to talk again.
