Jasper, Alberta before departing for Dawson Creek, BC.
The stain on the road is from another car.

Dawson Creek, Mile 0 on the Alaska Highway
Fort Nelson BC to Whitehorse YT. Epic.
Wow, that road, the scenery! Sam, I admire your confidence in making the trip in your Merc.
How have the accommodations been?

Accommodations have been excellent. All spotlessly clean, comfortable beds.
The 300D is an excellent ride. 30 mpg, mechanical diesel, no electronics of any concern. Diesel is available at every stop. So far we’ve reached our destination with 1/2 a tank remaining. On the next legs to Beaver Creek and Delta Junction I’ll be topping off more often.
I wish I had installed stiffer springs in the rear. Otherwise I feel we planned well.

Great trip. Thank Youbfor updates. It’s on my bucket list to do as well
I drove to Salt Lake first. We essentially started the trip there.
Whitehorse to Beaver Creek Yukon.
Cocktail hour at Buckshot Betty’s.
You gents have to admit I know how to show my woman a good time.

Was thinking, on a blustery, windy night; I bet sleeping in those cabins would be exciting! You could hear them creak and feel them buffet!

Beaver Creek YT to Delta Junction AK.
Beaver Creek to 30 miles west of the boarder was slog due to frost heaves, broken pavement, pot holes and construction.
People are very understanding and thankful when I let them pass. 36 degrees, sleet and rain.

Road is more busy than anticipated!

It was single file through the repair zone. Plus the people with campers were taking it very slowly.
