Thank you guys , nice to know I'm still getting support here ;-)
Lisbeth - sorry , no mounty , but at least the customs guy wore a uniform :O^
RP - It's a long long way to go 0*\
Mel - I agree . Had a bit of a scare a couple of days earlier when sightseeing around Dawson , and almost got stuck in a snow-drift , and miles from anywhere :shock:
Pooky , after all , it is the Land of Midnight sun ;-)
Prwin - thank you \O

Guys please be patient with the next lot of pics - I'm having a bit of problem with downloading :-?

Sharifa -- No Mountie :O^ Anyway , they only where that " dress-uniform " for special occasions O**

Now , unfortunately , since yesterday , I have been unable to post any pics , and I'm being " kicked" out everytime a p[ost a pic , with a message telling me I am forbidden to post on this forum . Obviously something has gone wrong somewhere , and despite me trying everything I can , it keeps on doing it , and I just do not know what to do anymore 0*\

So , for the time being at least , this TT has ground to a halt 0=

Sorry 0:

Thanks to Toko , the problem was sorted out O\/ O\/ O\/

We try again :-)

And on the other side – USA .
Very sparsely populated place this O**
Hmmmm....... On Saturday nights this place must really be humming ......


Image

Image


And this picture was taken for us by the very friendly USA customs officer - he makes up for one half of the population of course – we did not meet the other half , otherwise the place probably have become really crowded .


Image


Some distances still to go ?

Image


And this is Boundry – Alaska . It consists of a gift-shop which you see here


Image

A guest-lodge

Image


And if you need to go ........

Image


When we arrived at Boundry , these two guys were skinning a female brown bear .


Image


Apparently it had been killing Cariboo , so they went hunting it and shot it last yesterday about 11.00 pm .
Quite big ??????

Toko resolved the problem. O/\ Thanks to that we can proceed with the journey. O\/

=O: about the sign at the bathroom!

Same goes for the somewhat different names for their huuuuge settlements. :-0

But why is a brown bear killed because it killed a caribou? :-? Isn't that part of nature's circle...


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
