Made our first trip from Fairbanks to Texas in 1956 in March. An uneventful trip in a 1954 Chev station wagon. We moved back to Texas again in 1980 in a borrowed old motor home. Had a flat on an inside dual in Dawson, lost a fanbelt close to Teslin. Had an extra, but broke the bolt off in the housing taking it out. Put the belt on and McIvered a spruce to wedge the belt tight. Found a shop in Teslin that would fix it, but was told not to come into the shop until it was finished. An old grouch. Had to find a used alternator housing as he couldn't get the broken bolt drilled out. I was worried about the price, but he asked for $25. I happily gave him $50. Actually not a bad trip in the ancient Travco that drove sideways down the road.
I hope you enjoy it half as much as we. We should not have moved back!
