I guess it's a sign of the times that you can get Internet access in Haines Juction. To Erick Vargas, I offer my sincerest apology for being skeptical, and to the people at Park Royal, my thanks for putting up with a horrible cell phone connection and their input. I think sometimes we Hummer owners become thick skinned and get a little overly defensive when people say bad things about them.
Amazingly, the windshield has avoided all the rocks up here, but yesterday the left headlight cover took a direct rock hit and is starred but working fine. This is definitely "bear country" and we saw a half dozen yesterday. I find it funny the locals call grizzlies, blonde bears, and even have a name for one that raids trash cans here, Scooter.
We were surrounded yesterday by a group of about 15 German tourists from a Holland America cruise, who wanted to know all about the H3 and took their pictures standing next to it. Germans appreciate good engineering! The H3 is doing great and we may spend more time here than we planned.
