Today we had the worst weather since we began our trip. It rained the whole day. The temperature was in the low 40's even dipping to 37 degrees. We are about 50 miles west of Fort Nelson in an old fashion campground. The scenery has changed from farming to logging and mountains. We have gone about 2300 miles and have another 1200 to go. Ellen had to do some office work and asked if they had whiteout (liquid paper). The guy said of course they do. When she asked to have some the guy said come back in the winter! I think they have a different idea of whiteout.
BTW we have been amazed at the time that the sun sets. Yesterday we were at the most western part of the Mountain time zone and being so far north, it started to get dark about 11PM. Tonight since we are about 200 miles further north but now in the Pacific time zone it should get dark about the same time.
I have no Internet connection today. In fact we have no cell phone service either. This is the only road into Alaska and you see the same people at each campground. There is one thing we have here at Tetsa campground that is different. While there is no Internet, TV or phone service they do make the best homemade cinnamon buns ever. That's all folks!
