We woke up at about 7 this morning to start loading the vehicle. It took us about 3 hours to load all the vehicles and tear down camp. We hit the road about 10:30 for our long drive back. Dad started the drive and I took over after an hour or so. We knew it would be a lot of back and forth driving because we were both tired and were going to drive through the night.
Atigun Pass was a little rainy so I let dad drive for that portion. Going back and forth on the slick, wet, greasy, muddy road in a truck I am unfamiliar with is not what I wanted to be doing. I ended up sleeping for an hour before Coldfoot which was our first stop for a late lunch. I got the same sandwich but got chicken noodle soup to try and warm up a bit. The soup was delicious.
We were then on our way to the Arctic Ocean and Yukon River. I slept for a couple hours before Yukon River and woke up just as we were pulling in. We used the bathroom and walked down to the river for a picture- then we were off again.
Our next stop was in Fairbanks for gas and some McDonalds at 10:30pm. I took over driving about 11:45pm and finished the drive to a Anchorage when we arrived at 4:30am.
We unloaded some stuff and then were off to bed. The Alch’s home is incredibly unique. There are 5 or 6 different levels to the home and it is very outdoorsy and filled with animals and wood carvings.
