Day 58 - Vanderhoof, British Columbia

Well, here we are at Day 58 of our Alaska Caravan. It seems like just last week that we met and started to get to know each other, and now it’s already time to say “so-long for now”. After almost two months of traveling, we are still really getting acquainted and having a great time learning, sharing and playing together. This tour has truly been blessed in many ways.

Good fortune has brought us the sunshine. Who can forget the spectacular day in Denali National Park…and the beauty driving through the Chugach Mountains on the Kenai Peninsula...smooth waters on all the cruises through the Kenai Fjords, Prince William Sound, and the Lynn Canal to Juneau. ...and that bit of rain when we needed it most during the forest fires!

We have accomplished a lot:

We have crossed the “Top of the World” highway unscathed.

We have become experts at spotting frost heaves.

We have found ways to maneuver into the tightest of rustic campgrounds.

We have seen more wildlife than many will see in a lifetime.

We have learned lots about the different cultures throughout Canada and Alaska, and a bit about each others’ as well.

Our route has brought us closer to understanding the history of the region and what brought so many to seek their fortune, and why so many were willing to risk their lives to do so. The scenery has enriched our days with unsurpassed beauty. We’ve shared the adventure of a journey most will never take.

We hope you have enjoyed your tour as much as we have. Have safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon. Please keep in touch, and treasure the memories you have all taken part in making.

Memories, fun and friendships made along the way will last forever!

So long for now,

Ken and Carole Adams, Wagonmasters
