What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends! This morning we find ourselves at Teslin Lake Campground, a Yukon Government campground. It is lovely here. And it completed a day of mountain views. 

Right away after leaving Watson Lake, the mountains began to appear.

And we're told it will be even more beautiful when we reach Alaska.

This next one had less snow than the others, but still a frosting at the top.

Lovely. It was a beautiful drive all the way.

Good morning, my friends. We've used up our time here in Watson Lake, and we'll be moving on this morning. We're hoping to get a spot at a first come, first served campground in Teslin. I'm told by folks who are traveling these same roads that our chances will be good. We're going 170 miles today, so...a good drive...and we should arrive early enough in the day to find a spot.

Yesterday was spent taking care of some "life" things. I washed two loads of clothes, and we picked up a couple of ...

 Good morning, my friends! It was a short and easy drive to Watson Lake yesterday. As we pulled out onto the main highway, this was our view.

And on down the road, we came across a herd of bison grazing by the side of the road. We pulled off to the side.

They were on the driver's side, and so Mike took these pictures. There were some young calves.

When we reached the tiny town of Contact Creek, we crossed over the border into Yukon Territory. We're in the ...

Good morning, my friends! We're feeling energetic this morning, having taken a much-needed day to chill yesterday. There were almost no other campers in the campground, and so I got Smitty out for a walk early. He's always a little nervous going out into a strange world. Eventually, his curiosity exceeds his fear, and then it's fun going for a stroll with him. He sniffs and looks and listens, and I enjoy watching him act like a cat.

Good morning, my friends. Oh my gosh...what a drive we had yesterday! I have so much to tell you. You're gonna want to fill your coffee cup for this. 

Our drive started as it always does, getting diesel fuel. We also had to find a bank where we could get some more Canadian currency. We knew there would be a day use fee at the provincial park where we were headed. The parks often accept cash only. So...okay. Mission accomplished. Onward.

This next picture was taken to show you how the dandelions are lining the roadways here ...

Good morning, my friends. It was another long day of driving yesterday. We'll have a shorter drive today. We'll end up at Liard River Hot Springs. There's a lovely area for soaking in the natural hot springs, and we're taking two days to enjoy it.

Before we got on the road yesterday, I finished off the first of the Raggedy & Friends blocks. I don't have an iron along, and so I'm showing you the wrinkly version. I uploaded these pictures yesterday afternoon, and I noticed I'd neglected to stitch one of the buttons ...

Good morning, my friends. We'll be heading out again this morning. Before I talk about our next stop, let's back up to yesterday's activities. We had a day of rest and took care of a few "life" things. There's a pretty nice laundry at this park where we're staying, and so it seemed like a good idea to wash a load of socks and underwear. We're five days into the trip in which we each packed enough socks and underwear to get us through a week. Right now, the biggest challenge with laundry is ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, we've made it to the first sight-seeing stop of our trip. Dawson Creek is the beginning of the Alcan Highway. Now that we're here, it occurs to me that we're really doing two trips this time around. We're touring Alaska, but we're also making something of a pilgrimage by traveling the entire length of this historic highway. You can read more about it at that link I've given you. Here's a little image of the route we'll be taking between Dawson Creek and Delta Junction.

Good morning, my friends! If you thought you were going to get a break from my endless prattle today, then you would be wrong. I'm still mouthing off on a daily basis. For sure though, I'm taking the next couple of days off. We'll be in full-on packing mode, and it's going to get ugly. Trust me. You don't want to know a thing about it. 

On the other hand, things have been looking up flower-wise. Mike was the first one to spot it, but when I looked out the dining room window yesterday morning ...

 Good morning, my friends. We're one day closer to D-Day. As I'm writing, the sky is clearing and we're expecting some nice weather ahead for our final packing effort. Today I want to get out and pick a bucket of weeds. We're having a pre-trip war with the weeds, beating them back so the place doesn't disappear in a big tangle while we're gone. Mike will be out doing some spraying of the little "weed lawns" where the little sprouts are too numerous to pull up. As for my bucket, I'll be pulling ...
