We did it! We made the long haul from Paul, ID to Homer, AK. Google Maps said it would take us around 62 hours, but it really isn't that long, it was only 58 (3,114 miles or 5011 KM)! Four 12 hour days and then one 9 hour day. and ironically, the 9 hour day was the LONGEST! Probably because it was the last! I do have to admit, I am really glad I made the drive, but really hope I never have to again! It was absolutely beautiful, and my wonderful husband made it a very fun trip! I really believe the pictures are what are going to do the best explaining...
Day 1: Paul, ID to Calgary, Alberta
Day 2: Calgary, Alberta to Grande Prairie, Alberta
Day 3: Grande Prairie, AB to Watson Lake, BC
Day 4: Watson Lake, BC to Tok, Alaska
Day 5: Tok, Alaska to Homer, Alaska!
The animal count throughout the drive:
- Moose: 4
- Caribou: 2
- Deer: 2
- Fox: 3
- Mountain Sheep: 11
- Porcupine: 1
- Buffalo: 112
- Mosquito: 1 million
- Wild horses: 3
- Black Bear: 1
It really was a fantastic time and honestly, these pictures don't do any justice to how beautiful it really was!! And the best part is, my husband still loves me after it was all over!! :)
