May 30: Through The Al-Can For Alaska

We continue north headed for Alaska!!




We continued up north through the Al-Can, which was built during WWII for quick and easier access to Alaska from the lower 48's. Fort Nelson, as noted in the map above, was a critical point for us. It marked a good portion of the way up through Canada...




Driving up through Canada and a pony we named "Shaggy".



Continuing on the Al-Can... and in Fort Nelson, we started ..."becoming Canadians ...eh."



More driving and roadside safari, eh.



We're in Watson Lake in the YUKON... but Christi thought we were in Utah?%$# Even the second take was still Utah -- what's up with that? We decided that I narrate where Watson Lake is...



More of Canada, eh... The "eh" came about way back near Prince George in the BC (place where we stayed with the shaggy horse in the video above). Well, there was a man there in his 60's who had spent a lot time in the Yukon trapping/hunting... and every other word was an "eh." "Eh" this, "eh" that...



More "eh's" and ...finally, through the Canadian corridor and back into America! Just kidding... Canada's awesome and Canadians are also awesome.
