#1 Alaska Trip

6/28/12
Today starts the the journey to Sterling, AK.  After a few moments of fighting with sis, (some things never change) she and I got the trailer packed and padded. Officially on the road at 6:40 pm local time.  Road conditions were fine with no wind.  We passed through the New Harmony fire area which had been 70% contained as we passed and also came within 30 ft of Danyelle's cousins house.  Their garden suffered a bit of singeing.  The fire jumped I-15 and torched 22 buildings and homes on the West side of the freeway.  We also passed through a fire area near Scipio which ran the whole mountain ridge West of town.
We reached the Pavilion Inn in Murray, UT around 11:40 pm just as our contact pulled into the parking lot.  We loaded 5 boxes and some PVC pipes that you can only get in Utah?  Relaxing with a rum and coke(s) and preparing for tomorrow's journey to Butte, MT to pick up a bicycle then onward toward Wolf Creek, MT.
