This is our last wake up in the continental USA this trip. It is kind of surreal. We are leaving the country today. I will be the farthest from an Archivers than I have ever been (HAHA). I do miss it though.
We got the last few things done and we pulled out of the FamCamp at McChord, AFB. The area is just so beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay here minus the stress of the truck and the rude camp hosts.
We made a last minute stop to the BX to get one last coffee from a Starbuck’s in the lower 48. Brad stayed in the truck to look at the route again. We have been using the Milepost to guide our agenda through Canada. If you plan on traveling through Canada or Alaska this is a must have. The kids and I ran into the BX to get the coffees. I begin the spiel of our coffee concoction when the lady said, “I remember you.” The one making the coffee also said she recognized the drink. Both had made our drinks before just at separate times. NOT addicted!! I wired Brad without his knowledge. So knowing their coffee is a little weaker than our coffees in CO I added another shot (6 total shot of espresso). Brad is driving as I am typing and he is reacting from the added caffeine. He says his hair tingles and he can feel his beard grow. I clue him in as he is about half way through his drink ;).
We will be at the border soon so this will be our last post until we make it into Alaska. Verizon has service in Canada but charges for each MB and since I have NO idea what those are we will not be using them. We will journal each day and post them in once in Alaska. We “think” we have all the needed paperwork. We will soon find out.
Good bye to all of our friends and family until we see you again.
