Travelled in and out of Canada today. Bit of a problem with fuel today...due to fuel pump gauge. If you remember, after the replacement of the fuel pump, the gauge was way way off. So far, Al has done a great job keeping up with the mileage, etc. so we don't run out. All of a sudden I hear Al say, we're gonna run out of fuel:( We had thought we had enough to make it to Glennallen, but suddenly the gauge went really low. Unhooked the car, I babysat the rig, Al drove looking for gas. 22 miles later, he found a station, but they didn't have a gas can. A native in the store went home for her can and brought it back to Al (people have been really helpful here in Alaska!!!! So great!). The fuel in the can got us back to the station and we were able to fill up the main tank. Proceeded on and stopped at Border City Campground about 3 miles from the Canadian border.

More poles...if you enlarge the pix, you can see the difference between the vehicle and top of the poles. Even with the poles to show me the way, don't think I'd want to be a snow plow driver here!!!
Glaciers galore on this trip, really beautiful. Some of the black around the glaciers in the pictures are actual dirt covered glacier. Sometimes hard to tell whether it's rock or glacier.
In the mid-bottom of this pix is a cabin tucked in the trees. Again, enlarging the pix you really see it; however, it was the only home in the woods that we saw the whole day.
After an eventful day, this was really pretty.
