The container, at last loaded with all our worldy stuff, was driven away on Monday. It goes on a ship to Seward and will be trucked to Anchorage sometime next week, we hope. Our adventure began Tuesday at 3AM as we raced around the near-empty house packing up the car with cats, sleeping bags and what-not.
We boarded the ferry for the 14 hour trip with a ferry change in Juneau. After arriving in Haines we drove another 150 miles to Haines Junction in the Yukon Territory of Canada. It's remarkable we had to cross national borders to move to another area of the same state.
On Wednesday we drove 300 miles from Haines Junction to Tok. It took all day and it rained all day. The Al-Can Highway, as this section is called, is in a perpetual state of disrepair. We managed to entertain ourselves through the day of dismal road and weather.
Jimmie!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the same kind of container that they use to haul industrial waste to the dump in my neck of the woods. Time was that if you had a Connex in Anchorage, then YOU HAD a home. How things change.
