Today we finish our drive on the Alaska Highway when we reach the official end in Delta Junction. It is about 200 miles from Tok and another beautiful day of scenery. We have great mountain views of the Alaska range all covered in snow and lots of rivers and streams. At Delta Junction there is a visitor center and we take photos and Jeff purchased a bumper sticker for the RV which says "I Drove the Alaska Highway and Survived." I also greeted the unofficial state bird of Alaska - the mosquito.
Farther up the road are the some good places to visit, but we are anxious to get to Fairbanks with only one stop at the Knotty Shop. These clever entrepreneurs offer a free ice cream cone if you bring in their ad from the Milepost. So what if it is only 10:30am. BTW - the Milepost is the bible of the Alaska Highway offering a mile by mile listing of services and spectacles. They have listings for every scenic pullout and even tell you if there is a trash can available. It is a necessary aide for the traveler.
Our campground is in North Pole, AK and a very comfortable place. Unfortunately their cable TV and laundry aren't working, but we are roughing it a little. Gas is only 4.09 so we fill up and that is a good thing because the price went up the next morning.
