From Stuck in Snow to an Hour in Hawaii

This morning I woke up and saw snow, LOTS OF IT! It had snowed all night and there was 4 to 6 inches on the ground. We didn’t know what to do because we didn’t have tire chains for our RV. We saw a couple trucks go by and decided to go look at the road. We decided it was time to go out anyway.
The road looked like winter wonderland in May. It was covered in snow and we had to go over the highest point of the Alcan Highway.
We did not see too many other cars, but we did see moose and caribou along side the road. Every where we go we see animals.
We stopped for the day early at Liard Hot Springs. After lunch we walked to the hot springs, put on our bathing suits and got into the HOT…HOT..WATER.There was snow nearby and it was actually snowing while we were in the water. Many plants grew beside the pools, liking the warm water. There were ferns and my dad saw little flowers.

The worst part of the hot springs was getting out. It was so cold I was dizzy at first. I enjoyed my hour in Hawaii though.

Tomorrow we are going to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory and make our decision of where we are going to go for the remainder of the trip—Dawson City and Chicken, or Delta Junction.
