After a night at Prudhoe, we set off back to Fairbanks. The drive was just as spectacular going back. It was very hot at Fairbanks, 88F., so we ran the caravan air conditioning continually. Two days later we were in Denali National Park. It was very crowded at the visitors centre. Descided to go to Trappers Creek, where there were good views of Mount McKinley. Rested for a day, then went on a four wheel drive road towards the mountain. The first 20 miles where gravel, but after that it was a very bad road. We drove through several streams, and at one of them we saw a beaver. We saw some fantastic views of Mt. McKinley. Next headed towards Anchorage. It was a big city, so we carried on to Seward. Here there were big mountains falling down to the sea. It was all very beautiful. At Seward we camped right on the beach. We had a look at the marina, and drove to Exit Glacier. It was Shelbys birthday today, so we went on a day Cruise through the fiords. Unfortunately it rained so we did not see the scenery at its best. We saw a Bald Eagle, Kittiwakes and Puffins. Stayed here for 3 days, then set off towards Anchorage. On the way we saw a lot of Sockeye Salmon spawning in a river, and nearby camped in a forestry campsite. On this road we found a massive glacier, and further on a beautiful lake. Decided to camp by the lake, and have a bonfire and a B.B.Q. Set off for Tok, and on the way nearly ran into a large Moose. It was so big it would have made a mess of the Bronco if we had hit it. We stopped at a bar at Metasta Lodge. Got talking to some real characters, and were invited to their log cabin. We had such a hangover the next day, decided not to move. Next day we filled the tanks with water, and set off. As we crossed into Canada the scenery got even better. We stopped for lunch beside a stream, but on leaving, the car would not start. Some Austrians, in a campervan stopped, they kindly offered us a lift to the next town to find a mechanic. They lost their dog, so we spent most of the afternoon finding it. They camped the night and gave us a lift in the morning. We were towed to a garage 18 miles away. The timing chain has broken, so we parked the caravan alongside his garage. It took 5 days to get the Bronco fixed, because the parts had to be ordered. Set off for Haines Junction, stopping at a small museum at Burwash Landing. It was the most interesting we had been in. As we drove towards Haines we came across a grizzly bear at the side of the road. A little further along, beside a lake we found a lovely place to camp. Tried fishing but lost two lures. The lake looks beautiful. On the way to Whitehorse, we passed a Speedway Track which had a stock car meeting the next day. The racing was quite exciting, and there was a Police team driving in old Police cars. It was so funny to see one of their cars racing with the rest of them. Arrived at Skagway in a rainstorm. The scenery is lovely. We drove some four wheel drive tracks and also went to the start of Chilkoot Pass. We walked part of this old prospectors track, which led them to the gold fields. We stayed in this area for 3 days visiting museums and shops , and generally just lazing around enjoying the beauty. On the way to Watson Lake we saw another grizzly, it came really close. At Watson Lake we made a sign and put it up at signpost forest. Next day set off along the Cassier Highway, it is very scenic. Camped by a lake, and next to us is a single chap in a Jeep and a tent. He has everything, for fishing and survival camping in the woods. We call him the 'Great Outdoors Man'. The road got steadily worse, it became very bumpy. There were a lot of beaver dams in the rivers. After a night camping at a lake, we noticed that one of the bolts holding the axle onto the spring, had broken on the caravan. Luckily we were only a mile from a garage, and he fixed it for us. We headed towards Stewart, and saw two black bears on the road. Decided to go to Hyder, which is a part of Alaska. Pitched camp at Run-a-Muck campsite, with two loose horses in the field. Drove to Fish Creek and saw the salmon spawning and continued onwards to Salmon Glacier. This is an incredible glacier, and we had magnificent views of it as we drove along the track almost to the top. This was the best scenery we had ever seen. We went right to the end of the road, right in the middle of the mountains. We did not see anyone, this magnificent scenery was all ours for the afternoon. Back at the caravan, sitting around the B.B.Q., we could not believe what we had seen that day. In the morning there were two small black bears next to the caravan, one of them scratched at the side. We drove to the refuse dump, where we filmed two black bears. As we were doing this, a big mean looking brown grizzly bear came and chased them off. We reluctantly left Hyder, and headed South. Stayed on some great campsites, and met some great people. I especially remember one private site, on a lake, sunny, friendly owners and free canoes to use on the lake. It was so warm we could swim each day. We travelled through a big fruit growing area before we arived at the U.S.A. border. Going South we just missed a rodeo but manage to catch a baseball game. Over the next week we crossed the Columbia River and travelled on part of The Oregon Trail. Saw totom poles in Native American villages, and Hippies protesting about the logging. We camped at Crater Lake, it was so blue and there was an island in the middle. After here it was 4 days drive to our friends house. When we got there we sold the caravan for roughly the same price we paid for it, but the Bronco we could not sell, before we left for the U.K. Our friends very kindly sold the Bronco for us, and we are indebted to them. England seemed very small, compared to the great open spaces of Northern America.... We towed the caravan for most of the 10,887 Miles, and only one breakdown.
