It rained last night in the campground so the air is clear of smoke this morning. Mostly today we bounced over the road. The frost heaves and breaks in the road continued for about the entire day. Made for 2 tired people and one tired dog.
As we drove the forest became very strange . The Black Spruce became very small and skinny. I learned it was because the land they grow in is the permafrost area and it stunts the growth. So a small tree may be old and its growth rings very close together. We saw many ravens. Huge ones. Otto found a squirrel in a pipe so he had a fun day. Also on the Tetlin bird and wildlife refuge which we were next to much of the day, there were trumpeter swan pairs. A beautiful land and bird. Staying in Tok tonight and tomorrow. Will drive to Chicken tomorow. Have decided to forgo Dawson City and Top of the World Highway. Too long and we are alittle tired.
