The Crazy Non-Traditional Conservative Family Blackard: Almost there!

Tonight we are staying in Haines Junction, Yukon and should be able to get to Tok tomorrow!!!!! I've enjoyed the drive, but I have to admit I'm ready to take a break. We've been driving about 6-7 hours a day, which starts to take its toll (especially since a lot of the scenic stuff has been closed.)

Thursday we stopped at the Liard Hot Springs pool. It was very nice and relaxing. Even Tucker liked swimming. As we were pulling in to park for the night, Stretch noticed that the back brakes were squeaking. So we stopped in Watson Lake yesterday so he could replace them. One pad was completely gone and the other was deteriorating. Not very good at stopping big rvs. Luckily, God has been watching over us the whole way, because Stretch has been able to catch these things before they were big problems.

We have been very fortunate to see some amazing animals. Just today we saw two moose (I was in the Jeep and went back on the highway to get some pictures with the 35mm), a gorgeous red fox, caribou, rock sheep, and huge buffalo. Here are some of the pictures we were able to get with the digital while driving down the highway (they prefer you don't stop since most of the way there isn't much for a shoulder and blocking traffic could cause accidents--picky, picky)
