We drove from Destruction Bay to Teslin Lake today.  These are the same roads that we were on when we were going into Alaska.  Although the look is a little different (since we are going the opposite direction) a lot of it is the same.  There is not near as much snow on the mountains or ice on the lakes as there was on the way in.  I guess we have been so overwhelmed by Alaska as the scenery that we thought was amazing on the way in is now just beautiful.  Our campsite tonight is on Teslin Lake and it is beautiful – I took a picture from inside the camper and will post it when I have internet again.  We did have some rain today; however, not enough to clean off the camper.  We went through some really nasty road construction yesterday and you can tell.  The roads today were much better and the speed limit went up to 100 (kilometers); the roads should continue to get better as we go south.  It is amazing to me that there is very little traffic on the Alaska Highway.  We do see lots of trailers/campers going the opposite direction so guess they were right about June and July being the busy season.  A couple things about Canada – everywhere you go you see signs that say they have the best cinnamon rolls (we plan to try some tomorrow just for research purposes).  Also, when you are in Canada and order ice tea it will be sweet tea – most places do not even have unsweet tea.

Well, that is it for today.  Not sure how far we will get tomorrow.  We saw lots of wildlife on the road we will be on tomorrow when we came in – hope it will be the same tomorrow.
