Tok to Anchorage (PHOTOS)

The roads in Alaska are long and narrow.
Miles and miles of land and Mountains.

Not exactly what we expected. The Yukon, Canada border crossing building is still visible in the rearview mirror. The Alcan is mud, potholes and rocks up here. Tok, alaska is about 90 miles southwest of here.

Joe is testing a new bait casting reel at a small lake near Haines Junction, Ak. Although it looks like early afternoon in the picture, it's actually 11:30 P.M. There are only a few hours of darkness this time of year.

along the Alcan, south of Haines Junction, Ak.





The same female grizzly as above. Thankfully, she wasn't interested in me taking her picture.







The color and the hump on her back help to identify this beauty as a grizzly bear.
