Another 400 mile day, had breakfast in Tok Alaska. First 2 hours of rain then just cool and overcast.
Saw only one animal along the road and that was a small Yorky.

The stunted trees are not the result of fire nor desease, they are trying to survive growing on areas where the permafrost is very near the surface, perhaps only a foot or two below ground level. The seasonal thawing and freezing is what causes the heaving of the roads. So when you see the stunted trees you can be sure to will find bad roads. Pretty trees, nice roads, ugly trees bad roads. It’s the rule.
Tomorrow new tires and oil change, then Fairbanks.
