We crossed the border late yesterday. Tok, population 1,435, was the next town on our route. At Delta Junction we completed the 1,422-mile Alaska Highway. Notice the distance to Miami at the top of the sign. We spent the night at Smith's Green Acres RV Park. The Smiths are an Adventist family. We stayed at their park in 2007. The picture of the trumpeter swans was taken on a previous day. Some of you probably wonder about the highway. Here are two examples. It has all been paved, however, summer is when they do their maintenance. This means they are either patching or replacing. Where they are replacing, there is gravel and dust. As we got farther north we ran into dips, called frost heaves. These are caused due to the permafrost under the road melting causing the road to sink. If a vehicle is traveling too fast when the dips are encountered it can be quite a thrill.
