Alcan
Heading for Tok, Alaska!
Battery Charger and Water
No, not that kind of toke. People think it may be named after Tokyo because the road camp that eventually became the town was established there during the second world war.
Anchorage to Tok: 318 miles
I'll be skirting the western and northern edges of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Preserve.
The Wrangell St. Elias is the size of Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park, and the country of Switzerland combined. It has most of the highest peaks in the United States and Canada, and yet, some of those peaks are only ten miles from the ocean.
The Wrangell is continuous with the Kluane National Preserve in Canada, which I'll be driving by in the next few days.

Since I gave up TV for New Years, I've been spending more time than I care to admit watching the DCEaglecam.
The two chicks hatched March 18th and 20th. They are beaks, wings, talons and not much else.
I hope to find internet in Tok so I can check on them.
