The rest of the trip north to AK

The trip from Nebraska went well. We hit snow in Northern Wyoming but after that we had great weather through Montana and had a great lunch with a KAC friend in Billings on the way north. 


We then headed from Montana north and made it to Lethrbridge BC over the boarder and spent the night there. The weather wasn't looking so good for the normally beautiful drive through the Canadian Rockies from Banff to Hinton the next day but we prayed about it and God gave us good weather and high enough clouds to enjoy His creation along the way. 
Lake Louise was beautiful but you couldn't see the bright blue color of the water through the ice but it was a nice break and a good place to stretch our legs and have a little snowball fight.


We had a nice picnic lunch along the way through the rockies and enjoyed the day God gave us. 
 We pressed on from the Rockies and had 2 good long days of driving stopping in Grande Prairie the one night and then making it to Watson Lake the next. Watson lake is famous for its signpost forest with thousands of signs of all kinds. It's an interesting stop in the middle of nowhere where thousands have left their mark or represented their home town.






We had a great trip making good time and seeing lots of creatures along the way including bears, wolf, caribou, elk, fox, swan, bison, and stone sheep.

We arrived in Tok AK Wednesday evening and spent the night there and left early Thursday morning to make it to the Ranch at 10:30 that morning. Its been a busy weekend unpacking, visiting people and places and starting the big job of getting things ready for another summer of ministry. Becky has jumped right in to her project and will have it done in no time and will be looking for more to do. Thanks for all who prayed and helped with this trip. God has been so good.
