Well, we left Fort Greely at close to 4:00 p.m. on the 18th, after the change of command ceremony. It was a nice ceremony. I was proud to hear some of the things that were said about Steve's two-year tour. I've known he's a pretty good guy for the last 22 years, but it is nice when those qualities are recognized by others. :)
We drove until about 3:00 a.m. and stopped in Whitehorse at the Best Western Goldrush Inn. A very nice hotel if you have occasion to stop in Whitehorse.
The roads in Canada, especially in Yukon Terrtory and the beginning of British Columbia, are pretty bad. It appears that, instead of actually fixing the roads, crews are sent out to place orange flags with a reflective stripe on both sides of the road in areas where there are big bumps, rollercoaster quality hills, and damaged pavement areas.
We're now passing through British Columbia. We stopped in Watson Lake and then in Fort St. John and we'll continue through Dawson Creek for a photo op at the 0 Mile Marker for the Alaska Highway.
We're still a party of six...dogs are hanging in there.
How has the weather been--sunny, cloudy, rainy? Are the dogs still acting pleasant? :)

We've had good luck with the weather, just one day of rainy weather at night. This was when I was driving, of course!
