Dan Wright – 2006 Trip from Seattle to Alaska

04 August 2006

Day 19: Watson Lake to Prophet River

This morning, my credit card was still blocked. I called my bank again and spent fifteen minutes trying to get them to remove the block once and for all. Apparently they decided they don’t want to accept my old expiration date anymore. Their advice was to have the clerk(s) enter in the correct expiration date by hand.

Okay.

I decided to switch to my backup credit card.

A few hours later, that card was blocked by the issuing bank.

I decided to pay in cash.

Spotted:
• Bison (Wood Buffalo), alongside the Alaska Highway
• Stone sheep
• Caribou
• Deer
