Today was designated to the search for a vehicle that could last at least 2 months. After getting well caught up on our much-needed rest, we contacted several people through craigslist, alaskalist and the newspapers. We test drove vehicles and ended up with two options that we felt good about. One was a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am and the other a 1989 Ford Bronco 4 wheel drive. We ended up getting the Bronco after much deliberation. I'll post photos soon.
We saw our first moose today on the side of the highway. It was a female and she was bent over eating grass, didn't get a picture, but I'm sure I will eventually from all I've heard. Weather here was phenomenal today, 49 this morning to 65 this afternoon, sunny and clear skies. The two neatest things so far here (besides the scenery) are the light at night (it looks like it's 4 pm outside right now, but it's really 10:30 pm) which makes it so hard to go to bed, and the tap water- it is the best water we've ever had.
The photo with the equipment rental place shows the neighborhood I'm living in behind it...nice view, eh? :D
Hope everyone is well!
Love, Tim and Rachel :)
