So I finally have interwebs so I can update the blog. Where should I start??
The last time I updated you I was in Alberta sleeping in a motel that was actually nicer than some of the hotels I've stayed at in the States. Well that day we drove from Whitecourt, AB to Ft. Nelson, BC. The day was pretty cool we arrived at the famous Alaskan Highway at Dawsons Creek, BC. The drive just got much more scenic after that. I don't have time to upload all the videos but the scenery was out of this world!! Imagine mountains on one side and lake on the other while you are driving through the Rockies.
We ran into a lot of wildlife too. We saw about 10 bears total and about 5 to 10 moose. We actually drove right next to a bear who was about 10 feet away from our car. That was pretty awesome. I only got about 8 total hours of driving in on the Alaskan Highway but they were awesome! At one point we had to come to a complete stop because a group of rams were eating in the middle of the highway. My buddy Austin proceeded to get out and run at them making noises. The video is hilarious but once again I don't have time to upload it now. It will get on the blog once I get to Juneau hopefully.
We also hit the sign post forest in Watson Lake, Yukon Territory. It was a lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be. There were easily thousands of sign posts. It was a pretty cool sight and video will be posted soon.
We arrived at Skagway last night around 11pm local time. Which is about 2 am my body time so I was needless to say a little tired! We then proceeded to drive around for about an hour and a half trying to find a campsite to sleep in. Everyone kinda got a little frustrated with one another but we eventually figured it out and stayed in a valley for free which is awesome.
The worst news of today is that our ferry got delayed. So if it didn't get delayed I would currently be heading to Juneau but since it did I'm sitting in the Skagway library hogging their interwebs. So we are kinda stuck here for the day and this town is boring! We are gonna eat some local cuisine tonight then camp out again. Our ferry leaves tomorrow morning at 7 am so we will have to be there around 5 am which is real early but I will be motivated to get to Juneau so its all good. I just want a room so I don't have to worry about where I'm sleeping the next night.
I will be posting a lot of video when I get to Juneau because it takes forever to upload then onto youtube and I don't have 4 hours to sit here and wait on the videos. I promise they will be good and hopefully entertaining. Well I am tired of sitting in this library and I will hopefully be updating my blog next from my permanent room in Juneau, AK.
Driving 60 or so hours with these 5 other guys has been an interesting experience. We are all different and its interesting to see God testing my patience with different personality types. That is part of the reason I went on this trip was to learn how to cope with different people. So I can see God working in that and its encouraging. Even though I might not get along with everyone all the time.
