Tom and Suzanne's Travels: ALASKA !!!!!

We finally made it to where I had thought and talked about for so long. It almost doesn't seem possible that we have come so far and it only took 117 days. What a feeling of accomplishment and joy to have arrived at our destination. The road is not the best and you have to drive slow, the road is not really any better or worse than those in Canada. It was also raining almost the whole drive and we haven't seen the sun yet in Alaska. The Alaskan Highway takes you to Tok a small town of less than 2000 where we stopped for fuel and groceries. We are glad we did because Slana does not have any fuel or grocery store. Slana is nothing more than a campground, post office and ranger station rolled into one. There is no town to speak of and we are staying an extra day to just relax and drive into the forest. The campground has four sites with full hookups and internet, but only 1 TV station and very clean restrooms and showers. The place is run by the by a very nice older lady who also runs the post office.
