Diane and I drive that road every year and truthfully it is boring compared to adventures it use to hold. Almost all of the old roadhouses are gone due to the rerouting of the road. The great climbs over Trutch and Summit are also gone due to rerouting .still enjoyable for the wildlife though.
Tony: Great hearing from you. And thank you for telling us what the ALCAN is like now. Can you imagine what the people who built the original road would think of the Alaska Highway today?
Tough, extreme weather, dedicated, hard work....Everyone worked and worked, then The Alcan was done. What an accomplishment!
Thank you for the Alcan history and related stories
Pat: You are very welcome.

Thanks for sharing...so interesting. I lived in Alaska(Bethel)for almost 49 years and have never traveled the highway before! Keep up the good work.
