Finally in Alaska

7/3/10
We left Cottonwood camp, headed for the Last Wilderness. They don't make it easy to get here! We traveled about 100 miles on the WORST road I have every driven on. The frost heaves were something I could deal with, but then you throw in pot holes and these "fisures" in the pavement that ran any which way--across, with, and diagonally across the road--and it is combat driving. We met a man from Alberta that said "This road is a bloody disgrace". I had different adjectives for it! I averaged 30 miles per hour--but we made it with no apparent damages other than nerves. It was wonderful to get back into the USA!
    We stayed at Border City--it was not a city. We got the last campsite in the RV Park, and I use that term loosely! The first thing we spotted was a cow moose grazing along the tree line about 100 yards away. Kathy said that is a funny looking horse OR it is a moose, and she was absolutely right! Still getting rain!
