The Taylor Highway follows a ridge and promises sweeping views of the Alaska Range.  I got only a fleeting look at the rugged snow capped peaks before the skies turned grey and the clouds socked in.  No problem.  We’ll just hang out up here and wait for the clouds to lift.  It got more grey.  It sprinkled rain.  It rained hard.  No problem.  We’ll just spend the night and it’ll be better in the morning.

In the night drops changed to slush and by early morning to heavy wet snow.  It was our first significant snow in nearly four years, more than 3”. Kent had to scoop it off of the roof of the slide so we could break camp.  As it turned out the white stuff was just at the very highest elevations. It added to our adventure as we drove in and out of it for a couple hours.  I still haven’t seen the Alaska Range!
