We drove toward the North Slope on Friday, August 28 and camped overnight. It was a beautiful trip and we had a good time.

We saw a wolf and followed it for three miles on the road. We also saw a mama moose and her babe.

Wilbur is pointing to the Arctic Circle in both Sweden and Alaska. They are exactly opposite and we were fortunate to be at both in the last four months.

Yes, this is ice along the road in a little ditch, close to Atigun Passs.

Some of the beauty, we saw as we traveled. The reds on the mountains are blueberry plants.

It was a "real" muddy road, but well worth the trip.

Do you believe this frost? The little bird is cold too.

We will start on our way back to Iowa on Sunday, August 30. We will make a stop at Skagway, before leaving Alaska. So we will have one more post about Alaska. Thanks for following the blog. It has been fun to share our journey.
