A fine and handsome bison 

He's just walking alongside the road. He's very healthy and beautiful. We saw quite a bit of wildlife in the Yukon Territory. It's awesome to see then animals. We've seen porcupine, elk, caribou, reindeer, bear, deer, a lynx (I was the only one to see the lynx), mountain goats, wild horses even.

What's the difference between a caribou and a reindeer I wondered. Genetically they are identical, but reindeer are domesticated which causes them to grow larger.

Baby buffalo too

We even got to see babies 

A Signpost Forest

Crazy! It's a forest of signage. 

This is at Watson Lake and it's pretty neat. There are signs from EVERYWHERE. You can even make one yourself and nail it up somewhere. Web site http://www.explorenorth.com/articles/signpost.html

If you want you can add your own to the 65,000 that are already there. This is at Mile 613 on the Alaska Highway. A good stop!

A dirty, muddy truck

Our truck on the Alaskan Highway. 

There are lots of Fords up north. Fords are the number one selling truck and that's why we chose one for our trip. Ford is just the best, oh yeah oh yeah. Haha!

Being from California where, [cough,cough], you are what you drive, we normally keep our truck very clean, very shiny. I can detail any vehicle as well as a man and better than many. My dad taught me how because he's Corvette guy. As as for my husband, he puts a wax job on a wax job. So this is a pic our truck on the Alcan Highway, baby! It's clean underneath all the mud and silt and, ugh, bugs.

Our son always gets out and helps. I think it's a unique habit of his. I can't take any credit for it - it's his nature. Usually at fuel stops we see the children sitting in the vehicle while mom or dad do all the filling up and window washing.

Road from Alaska to Whitehorse

Road to Whitehorse, capital of Yukon Territory

Yes indeedy, they were working on the road on our way home. Since we left to Alaska in April, it was too early for road work to begin and thus, we zoomed right through. On the way home though, we ran into road work here and there in Alaska and Yukon. Photo taken June 20, 2005.

The Yukon Territory was splendid. We saw moose. This welcome sign is about 500 feet opposite the Alaska sign. We just ran from one to the other for a photo. Haha!
