We found our way to the beginning of the Alcan today...which is actually the end of it for us...this time, anyway.

| This is how we came to Alaska in 1998... |
 |
| ...and this is how we left Alaska in 2014. MUCH fuller, and in so many ways |
|

We're hunkered down here in Dawson Creek for a night or maybe two...because this is a very pleasant place to be, and we could use a rest.
Today we also found summer. Our campground is just a short walk away from a darling park with a swimming pond, and the boys were in their trunks and ready before we'd even set up camp!
I honestly had reverse-sticker-shock at Safeway today. 8 ears of the
freshest corn we've eaten in years was $3.38. (We typically pay 79
cents per ear in AK for much older corn.)
We also scarfed down 2 large
containers of organic strawberries for $3 each. (These would cost about
$6 each in AK and 1/4 of the container would be moldy.) We all felt as
though we'd tasted strawberries for the first time ever in our lives.
They were simply amazing. We'll definitely be picking up a couple more containers tomorrow!
