Miles across Canada

After leaving Valdez, it was 5 days of driving...2300 miles later, I crossed the border into Montana, and as they say in Alaska, into the lower 48.  I didn't spend any time in Canada, only a lot of money.  As much as $5+ per gallon for gas.
As I traveled, I saw fewer animals on the road than on other trips.  Maybe it's due to this trip being later in the year this time and the animals aware that hunting season had started.  One animal I did see  that I thought was was very interesting.  Check out the passenger in this photo

Below are three pictures that are indicators as to when to leave Alaska.  When any of these three things happen, it's a sure bet that the snow is not far away.

Aspens are turning yellow

I'm currently in Great Falls MT taking a break from driving and waiting on Tricia to get here.  We will be heading across Montana, South Dakota, Iowa and to Kevin and Kelly's in Springfield MO.  Lots of pictures to follow, so stay tuned...
