Tok, AK

Tok, Alaska, June 28-29 

Finally after driving 4000 miles, we are in Alaska .  Yesterday we left Whitehorse and drove until 2:00, thinking we were just going to rest.  But since it was raining and the roads were less than desirable we just stayed.  We played games and watched movies for fun.  I forgot to mention in previous posts that it never gets dark.  All through Canada it stayed light until God knows when.  We usually go to bed at 11:00 and we can still see the sun.  When we get up at 6:00, it is bright.  Even when the sun sets, it is still light outside.  Isn't that a scream?  We got up this morning and started out for Alaska.  We had to drive some pretty rough roads because of the frost heaves.  They are constantly working on them.  That was quite an experience.  Thank God that isn't the norm. 
We arrived across the border at noon.  We are now on Alaska time which is 4 hours behind Ohio.  We stopped for fuel and the visiter's centerand drove to our spot for the night.  See you tomorrow in Fairbanks
