We did it! Finally sold the house, actually, right on time. August 1st we signed the papers, packed the car, loaded the dog and hit the highway for Canada. We made it to Tok for night 1. Slept at the Tok River State Recreation site after enjoying a greasy cheesy burger at Fast Eddy's (a recommendation from a Tommy-I-Dont-Give-A-$%#@ back in Anchorage).
A relatively peaceful night, we scored a tent spot right by the river. Our dog is mellow as can be... We think she may be hungover from all the awesome food she scored begging from numerous guests at the going away party... we're just waiting for the vomit to come.
Hit the road this morning and are averaging 36 miles per gallon in The Robot, the name I've given to my Corolla. The Alcan in the Yukon has been uneventful. Lots of ravens, 2 moose, and supposedly a jack rabbit according to Kai while I slept.
We just scored some free wifi here in Whitehorse and wanted to update the blog. We've gotta hit the road though for more Alcan Highway before we set up the tent again tonight. Will post photos soon!
Cheers from the Road,
Nicki and Kai

Aahhh man... There is a amazing Thai place in Tok called Jens Thai. Think Thai mail-order-bride opens up a awesome restaurant in her home and serves up the best Thai food for hundreds of miles around. I have been there twice. Next time you roll though Tok you have to look it up.
I hope KK got some of that greasiness from Fast Eddy's. I recommend feeding the dog grease right away when you start out on an 11,000 mile trip. Nothing but good times...
