ALCAN Drive 2011

Whoo Hoo! looking forwards to it Jake

 

Werd! Glad to see that there's interest...

Yeah, Kodiak is a beautiful, beautiful place...but it's an island. New job is going to have me away about 8 Mos. of the year, decided it'd be better to be in civilization again when I have time off.

 

LOL, hey, you tell a good narrative and you take good pictures, I liked your Alcan thread

 

Still my favorite road trip thread.
Inspired me to make one of my own this past summer.

 

Last month I drove down to Washington to buy a trailer and a couple of ATV's then drove back. The highway was in perfect shape with most of the frost heeves repaired, very little contruction, etc. Best I've ever seen in and I made the drive over a dozen times. Just carry an extra 5 gallons of gas as a lot of stations have closed up for the winter.

 

What route did you take?

Leaning towards taking the same one I did last year, HWY 97.

 

Same, from Dawson drove over to the east and crossed the border at Sumas, WA.

 

Alright, looks like I'm committed now....starting a new thread for the 2012 trip.

I'll link to it once it's up in the 2nd Gen Section.

Stand by to stand by,
jake
