Yellow Oxytrope
25 days and 6,167 miles, from Oregon to Alaska and back again.
June 12, 2015 Bob and I loaded the truck tent on top of the bed of the truck, fit the gear like a puzzle into the bed of the truck, along with food for a month and headed to our first stop Vancouver, Canada to see our son.
Lines were short at the border crossing, but before crossing into Canada our eggs got confiscated because of the bird flu in Oregon. I forgot to tell the border agent that the eggs were actually from Texas.
Since our final destination was Alaska we drove through Canada as fast as we could…6 day’s fast! Canada is very large! We averaged about 6 to 7 hours of driving a day, which left little time to explore except at the occasional campground.
