To Anchorage we go! Amber had an appointment at 9:00 am at Estey's Auto to get her valves checked. We arrived there on time and Bob (owner of Estey's) was an excellent man. He advised us that it did not have to be done until we reach California. He was an honest mechanic, which is hard to find nowadays. We then headed to Walmart and REI for the essentials. Then we kept on truckin'. Amber was doing awesome-she reached 74 mph today! We ate at Freeze in Glen Allen and kept on going. A cow moose crossed the road right in front of us as we completed this last stretch. We retired at Deadman's Lake about an hour away from the border. This was the very first spot we stopped at on our way into Alaska (and it is free). We watched an awesome pink sunset and enjoyed our last Alaskan beer. (This picture is for you Josh Kieck!) It was a somber night because we did not want to leave Alaska, even though we know we will be back to our new favorite state again. However, we are only half way done with our trip-onward West Coast!
