slow your row

So we've come to the conclusion that Alaska is already making us slow our lives down. We drove for 9 hours today and made it 300 miles. The road is snow packed, slippery as snot, and makes us pucker up like no other. Aron does a pretty good job keeping us on the road and straight for the most part and all I do is find a tree ahead and tell myself we just have to make it to that tree and then when we get to that tree I find another tree and tell myself the same thing. We are 900 miles away from Palmer which is about three days drive on the ice road. There aren't many places to stop on the Highway and the places that you can stop at have a gas station and thats it. Gas just seems to get more expensive we paid 100 bucks for a half a tank of gas today and with the gas mileage were getting thats about a dollar a mile. We are literally in the middle of nowhere I've never felt so distant from everything. Aron says we are in BFE haha..... We entered the Yukon Territory today and it seems like the more North we get the further back in time we go and the thicker the accents get! We are staying in a town called Watson Lake tonight. The town is about a 1 kilometer long we ate at a place shit I can't remember what it was called something Jakes but it was a restaurant a gas station and a mechanic shop all in one combo haha it decoration was pictures framed of all the trucks and cars that had rolled or tipped over on the Hwy. We actually saw a truck hooked to a utility trailer rolled over on the side of the road we slowed down to make sure nobody was in there but it seems they had already gotten out and gone for help. We went to the grocery store ( the only store) and the prices of produce almost made me faint! Grapes for 6.00 a pound Bananas 1.79 a pound and they looked like they had been frozen all brown and mushy eeewwww..... canned fruit was 2 for 6.00 for a can of fruit! Aron told me he was never going to complain about prices again after being in this town! haha I hope I can hold him to that! We see more wildlife on the road then cars. The more North we get the fewer people we see. we saw caribou, buffalo, a eagle, a fox, a coyote, and a owl. We are hoping that the weather stays clear so we can keep slowly poking a long..... my funny moment of today.... Aron got out of bed this morning and went to look out the window and before he got to the window I said honey what are you gonna look at you don't even have your glasses on and he said "like I need my glasses to see" and he turned to look out the window and ran right into it! It was so damn funny!! haha
