Lots of Money Traveling Down the Road

We have never seen so many big motorhomes traveling down the highway.  Bud said they are all heading for Alaska.  Also a lot of 5th wheel horse trailers.  You would be really rich up here if you had a truck dealership.  Everyone seems to be driving trucks and most of the trucks are pulling something behind them.  Also a lot of oversize loads on the road along with tankers that we think might be hauling gas or oil.

The scenery has turned to forest and small rivers and lakes.  Signs are posted to watch out for moose and deer.  Still haven't seen any.

6/1/2016.  Valleyview to Grand Prairie. 67 miles.  Today took 6 hours to go 67 miles.  Headwind all day and a huge hill to climb.  We are all pretty tired tonight.  Also our first encounter with mosquitoes  in camp.  But the best part of the day was our stop at a donut stand on the highway.  It was the best that I have ever tasted.
Can't miss this sign.

  1. hope you were warmer with an extra bag - at least you dumped the rain and traded for big rigs and traffic - each day is closer to Alaska for us too, we leave in a week for Lake Chelan, wedding and family, some biking and hikes too...stay well - tell Dave we are wishing him NO MORE FLATS for the trip - poor guy!
