    Mom's pup is looking happy. Panting quite a bit but I'm sure that's only because it is not used to being without mom. I hope that you don't mind if I call your mom, mom. She was probably more close to my age and nowhere near being an age where she'd be mom to me. It's just that the word mom has such a Loving sound especially coming from you that I adopted it to call your mom. You say it with such love. Just know if I'd been blessed with children I'd love to have a beautiful daughter as yourself. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I'm in Trapper Creek Alaska and I have lived off grid here for over 20 years now. Blessings sent to you all the way from Trapper Creek Alaska! See ya! Praying for you daily! I can't wait to see you make it home!✌🏻🤠❤

    When the Alaska highway was finished it was touted as Dawson Creek to Fairbanks but later changed to Delta Junction as there already was a road from Fairbanks to Delta Junction. The same happened on the south end as there was already a road to Charlie Lake BC. the real mile zero. The Army construction camp was set up at Charlie Lake and Fort St John.

    • @LivingFreeAlaska
      @LivingFreeAlaska  4 місяці тому

      Yes. 43 and 2 are the same road… just different provinces hence a different number. Then in Dawson at the roundabout 2 will end and you will proceed on 97 (the Alaska Highway) which will eventually turn to Hwy 1 once you enter the Yukon. 😘

      That was us entered Canada. And they were very standard questions to be asked by Canadian agents. Very easy crossing.

And one must remember we are visitors to a foreign country and they don’t have to let us in if they don’t want. She was just doing her job.
