Ross,

So do you want me to look for camp sites near Cape Cod? When you say bedding, would a single blow up bed fit or is there already something in place and I just need sheets, pillow and a comforter? I am really looking forward.

We picked up Mike on the Dalton Highway.
He had been on the road for 7 hours on a cool drizzly day with some very long hills and decided that was enough. We drove him 20 miles to the Yukon river camp and restaurant. He was very grateful.

Denali was next with awesome animal sightings, even some mountains which are very hard to see and magnificent vistas

Wow- those Denali snaps are great. Is that the mysterious Mt McKinley. And you seemed to be above the mountain goat (or whatever it is). Heard you were in Calgary over the weekend. Hope the hosts were hospitable - I'm guessing the Kiwi was happier than the wallaby follower. Sunday night was the congrats night for Tash and Nat who did the ride to conquer again - and a thank you from them for the supporters (including absent happy campers). Tough ride with the EKKA westerlies in full force on the first day (the westerly run!!!). Life goes on..I must snap some local animals to make you home-sick. Apparently one human animal is missing JL. Enjoy.....

Thanks for the update Tom.

We had a wonderful two days here, super dinner in the Calgary Tower last night.

Off towards Yellowstone today, and goodbye to AJ.

More pics in a day or two.

Lisa's friend Joan, who has vacationed in Cape Cod many times and knows the area well gave me quite a few ideas of where to visit and what to do while there, even some directions. We probably can talk to her a little more about it at the wedding or at Lisa's on Sunday. I've talked to several firends who have also visited Cape Cod and all of them love it there. I believe we are going to have a great time. Less than 2 weeks away. YAY!

Hope you don't need towing up here, the boys are a bit rough

Beautiful campsite near McCarthy

The Alaska pipeline. Interesting engineering solution to pipes on the tundra; the radiators on the top of the posts keep the ground from thawing with the heat from the oil.

Another victory for the road. It had just been graded and one of the pointy little rocks pierced the Firestone HT centre tread!
