I hate this automatic translations... It seems Tarzan works for google... but is something...
Greetings from Alaska! Finally!
Yes, the route was long ... It took four and a half years to cross the American continent since we left Buenos Aires!
11 years and 25 days since we left Barcelona ...
Alaska was farther than we thought ...
We are now in Fairbanks, preparing for the final stretch to Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay, about seven hundred kilometers (mostly dirt roads) to the Arctic Ocean ... must carry water and food, fill all fuel tanks and find a public library to connect to internet ...
The last few days we have been going faster thru British Columbia and Yukon, Canada, because our U.S. visa is finishing in less than a month. And if the weather continues the same, at any time return to snow. And we are in July.
For this year, it seems northern summer never came. Most days go cloudy, with rain on even days... The route is beautiful, miles and miles of paved walkway through a green forest. There are many lakes, and many mosquitoes, but after almost 4000 miles becomes so monotonous that we can not wait to get to the tundra. To the endless landscapes.
We continue uploading new stories about the road in www.viajeros4x4x4.com every sunday.
Indeed, a friend from Vancouver gave us a new toy. Spot, a device that automatically connects to a satellite to mark exactly where we are on a map. You can see our camps in Canada and Alaska http://share.findmespot.com/shared/face ... sVaq9xuVEt
For that, two, three or four days reached the extreme north of Alaska ... will be celebrated ... and bought a bottle of Marques de Riscal ... one does not come every day to the Arctic!
Regards and good routes (although the bad ones are better)
