Hi Spinner1 -

Awesome pics as usual.

I think that thing on the trailer may have been a log splitter. Just a guess based on the pictures.

I remember well (and not fondly) the construction bits up there in BC and the YT - dusty does not even begin to describe it lol....

I also have had experiences with rocks thrown up by the trucks up there - I had my windscreen and headlight broken on the Dalton by passing trucks, and I had a headlight broken in BC by a logging truck. Such are the tribulations of a trip into that territory.

Thanks again for the wonderful pictures and dialogue.

best regards -

:eek:;) what happens on THAT road, is "glass shop's" dream come true...
I too have had many windshields changed after AL-CAN...

I like that road the best in the winter, but it too has it's challenges when the temperatures hit minus -60 C and stays there for a while...:eek:
 
I'm posting you the last few pictures for this journey as I'm leaving this Wednesday to sail our S/V ORCA from California to Alaska. It will be an adventure as I'm relatively new to sailing.

You can follow the trip on another thread. I'll post a link for you here....

It's been nice to share my daughter's and my trip with you and I hope you'll enjoy our 3600mile (+-) sail to Alaska....


Cliff work....:eek:

It is again a rare occasion when I go through someone's 12 pages of pictures, but i did! Looks like you all had a great time traveling together! I can relate to a fraction on how fun it is traveling with a truck and trailer and also how sometimes you experience things unexpected and make the best of it!

I also preferred the AL-CAN in the Winter time!! It was much more pleasant to drive than in Spring!!!
