Junction 37 to Ft. Nelson 8-28-12

Right outside of Junction 37 we ran into a herd of Wood Bison, this is the master, big boy, top dog, numero uno, he runs the herd, these are larger than Prairie Bison.

Part of the herd. We think all the animals moved to Canada to avoid the draft, because we saw more animals in Canada than Alaska.

Young stud, could be next in line, he has some battle scars already.

Another dreary, rainy, overcast day and we're heading into the Rockies.

Coming up to Muncho Lake.

Muncho Lake, alpine lake.

Rockies in the distance, at Muncho Lake Pass.

Heading up to Summit Lake Pass in the Rockies, the highest pass on the Alaska Highway.

Climbing up Summit Lake Pass.

View from Summit Lake Pass, we are above the clouds today.

Another View.

Another view going down.

Who said you have to go to the Alps to be above the clouds.

Back down through the clouds.

That's the trouble when your up so high you have to go down, down, down.

Very neat.

Beautiful views, coming down.

Because this sign appears quite often after a particularly treacherous length of road, we surmise that it's the international symbol for soiled shorts disposal bin.

Finally caught up with the convoy in Ft. Nelson, BC. We just missed the ceremony, but big event in this small town. Some men who helped build the highway in 1942 were there.

Rockwell Top mounts.

Nice restoration.

Steve what's it say, I think its D O D G E, still purr's like a kitten.

Aug. 28, 2012 Long day today, 337 miles (7,190 miles total) and over the Rockies to boot. Even though it rained all day we saw some beautiful scenery. Finally caught the convoy after a three week chase but missed the ceremony.  But Bill got to talk to a lot of the guys about their restorations, some original but most modified for comfort and this trip.
