Day 3 Part One: Nelchina to the Canadian Border

It got kind of chilly but the room was pretty comfy. We were up fairly early and ready to hit the road again a little after 7am. We were hoping to make Whitehorse, which was 565 miles away.

Southbound end of a northbound moose. It crossed the road right in front of us but there was so much rain on the windshield the camera wouldn't focus. By the time I got the AF overridden he was almost gone.
