Well, I am hoping the sky clears and I’ll get my first sight
of the Northern Lights before I leave here.
I walked over to the Northern Lights Center to watch their
program and explore the museum but it was not open. About the only things that are open are the
post office and the grocery store.
Now here is a eye-opener …. Those of you in the lower 48
that complain about the price of food …. Let’s see … a 12 pack of Diet Coke is
$10; a 4-pack of ice cream bars is also $10; $3.80 each for avocados; I bought
a pint of milk for $3 … unbelievable. The
$3 loaf of bread and the $3 half-dozen carton of eggs were at least
semi-reasonable. Now I need to go get a $20 bottle of DEF …. When they say this trip is expensive, you
can’t even imagine until you get here. I
was hoping to empty my gray water tank while I’m here (included in site) but my levers are
frozen and I can’t get the tank open. It
isn’t until later in the trip that I find out how unfortunate this is.
I walked over to the Sign Post Forest. It has over 10,000 signs. The first was erected in 1942 by a GI missing
his hometown of Danville, Illinois.
Tomorrow or Thursday I’m heading for Whitehorse to see what
adventure I can find there. I plan a
trip to Skagway and maybe Juneau while I’m there.
