The last hotel we were at in Tok, Alaska boasted that they had wifi on a small piece of paper in the lower corner of the mirror. All you had to do was type in the password- "cheeseburger2010". It was at that moment when I looked over and said, "I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas (Fairbanks) anymore, Toto (Holly)."
Now, it's around 5:15 pm and I'm writing you from Canada. We happen to be ahead of schedule so we decided to stop in Haines Junction to relax a bit. The roads have been okay not ideal but not completely wretched either. As we drove into Canada, we felt a noticeable rise in temperature which I wasn't expecting. It was odd to see snow covered mountains, trees, and shorelines with waves crashing on a nearby lake. I'm walking around in a t-shirt so I'm welcoming the warmer temperature with open arms.
Here's a photo from close to the Alaska/Canada line:

I'll be back soon with more tales from the Alcan...
