First Glimpse of Alaska

Our first glimpse of Alaska and the Cassiar Highway has been on the radar for some time now and the road leading us there had quite a bit to offer. We camped lakeside for three consecutive nights.
Bald eagles and Osprey have been our constant neighbors and bears started to pop up along the roadside on a regular basis (currently we're at 4 black bears & one grizzly).


Atop the Salmon Glacier, we spent the night with nobody in sight and a view that will be hard to beat. Might actually be the best camp spot that we'll ever know. It was there that Brooks dominated Nathalie in an intense domino competition. The wager was a "two song" massage. He collected his winnings to the sweet tunes of Free Bird & Stairway to Heaven and enjoyed his 20 minute massage while swilling the last Budsweiser from our van warming party (finally!).
