We are officially on the road! We are so thankful to our friends and family (that one's for you, Cody and Sara) who helped us in the last homeless days before we left. Our trip down the Alcan and Casiar Highways went well. We even enjoyed another lunch at Buckshot Betty's in the Yukon with fond memories of our stop there a year ago with the Fritzels. We stayed in Tok, Teslin, Stewart and finally Prince Rupert to catch the 15 hour ferry to Port Hardy on July 12. The ferry was built in 2009 and was more like a cruise ship.

The weather has been spectacular and we have enjoyed the non-stop views of mountain ranges and wildlife which included lots of bear (black and brown), moose, fox, grouse, whales and eagles. Our only mishap was needing to sleep in the pop-up van/Jeep for 2 nights, which we hadn't planned on. But, that's to be expected in the summer with no reservations! We were amazed at how well the boys adjusted to adversity "we love sleeping in the Jeep" even though they've never done so.

Having lived in Port Hardy from 1994-1996, it has been very special connecting with friends and visiting some of our favorite places on northern Vancouver Island. You can link to our Picasa web album on the right hand sidebar to view more pictures from our trip.
In the week to come we will be heading south and picking up the motorhome in Washington by next Friday. So, this may be our only post until then due to the lack of internet and cell phone connection.

We are living vicariously through you guys! Looks like a ton of fun! You are missing out on our 50 degree rainy weather. We miss you guys.
Sounds like you all are having fun! Enjoy cause you have 9 months left before you have to come back to work. I'm saving your spot!
Sounds wonderful and the fun is just beginning! Thought of a place in OK that might be fun for the boys. Black Mesa Nature Preserve. Lots of dinosoar fossils and even a dinosoar "parkway" through part of the valley. Sounds like little boy heaven. :)
Yeah, you did it! I added your blog to my favorites list so I can follow you on your trip. It brought warm memories of our RV trip back in 2004-2005.
