I was trying to calculate gas mileage for the trip but it lasted only 3 hours . The exchange rate and liters threw me a curve . Hit 2900 miles yesterday just cruising around and dropping off the U-Haul trailer . So I"m 10 minutes away from @Dabbler and we'll meet up one day this week .

Say hi from me too

I drove to Alaska on the Alaska highway a few years ago and saw my first roundabout in Whitehorse. For navigation, I used a Rand-Mcnally
road map guide. It was a great trip. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I did. The George Black ferry took me across the Yukon river
on my way home, very interesting to watch the operator navigate the river!

Reminds me of a trip I took up thattaway in 1983.
Here is my rig in front of a glacier in the St. Elias mountains.

Ugh. Spent a decade in the Jaw.


Did not enjoy it at all…..

Visited Banff , Emerald Lake and Yoho today . Went out hot and came back with numb hands ! Damn the weather changes fast here .

Any Northern lights at your latitude?

There is always a better chance the further north, but it varies so much! My buddy used his cell phone the other day, and is only a couple hours north of Toronto Ontario. About 44 degrees north.


Here is one I took on July 1, 2012 same location.


And another from my place near Buffalo NY In 2001 I believe.

It has been a little cloudy at night recently. We missed the best of the activity last week. Just about every night there is some aurora activity. Rain and clouds for 3 more days, then we get the post - Perseid auroras, a little more intense than normal summer nights.

How’s the smoke?
Washington and Oregon are really warm and smokey from all the fires. Canada and the US. Real bummer!!

Plenty of it here Jeff . Walk outside it smells like an ash tray . We're heading up to Jasper in a while for the night . It was up in Banff a few days ago when we went .

Wow! Here in southern Wisconsin, we're at 43º N and rarely see them. It doesn't help that we have trees to the north of the house blocking our view of the horizon.

Up until 1980, (when I moved away) we'd see the aurora many times in the year, and we were at 43º N as well.
