For a day of travel it was not quite as hectic as it usually is getting everything we need packed and out the door in time to travel comfortably without arriving at our destination at an ungodly hour. Our target estimated time of departure was 10:00 AM. We only fell behind one hour leaving at 11:00 AM which still gave us plenty of travel time. The trip started out slow as Rob wanted to catch a picture at every stop there was on the side of the road to catch a view of the breathtaking landscape. We did get some good pictures out of it. Alaska is just an amazing part of our country. I hope as friends and family visit us in the future that we can share in some of it's beauty with them too! We eventually made our way to a huge glacier. It was enormous and beautiful! There was a sign that said we could drive to it and even walk on it! We were incredibly excited as we took the turn down the rocky mountainside road until we approached a gate. Of course they'll charge to go see it. :( 20 dollars a person. We thought we'll just have to do it next year. So we jumped back in the car and kept heading Northeast to Tok. As we got closer we saw less and less civilization. We approached Tok at about 6:30 PM. (Yes, that is actually good timing for us!) We passed the only gas station we saw which did not look very busy at the time. I snagged a picture for y'all though! We made our way to our cabin in the forest. Its a cute little cabin. I got things settled and unpacked at the cabin as Rob went out to buy some meat for us to cook for dinner. He had quite the experience at the little market. All the rotten fruit was on clearance and a bottle of A1 Steak Sauce was $7.00! Sitting just outside the market were a group of young native men wearing bandanas and staring at everyone who passed by. Rob picked up dinner and made his way back.
