Many more miles to Glennallen, but far more decades into the furture...

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

AKPENDUDE,
Thank you. I indeed appreciate the "Welcome" and have felt most welcomed here.

As a kid we looked forward to driving through to listen to "Unshackled" on the radio. Radio had very little coverage in the 60s.

Good for you Scott! Glad things are coming together for you.

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!

The Highway is in great condition. However, and I guess this goes without saying, ya gotta keep a good watch on the road, shoulder, and peripherals... What I mean is, I had dozens of buffalo, 29-31 elk (Not exactly sure, but I was trying to count), 9 ewe and lambs, 2 goats, 1 deer, and 11 black bears all either on the road or "just" off it. Oh yes, forgot the 5 moose (one cow with her calf standing on the shoulder, cute little guy he was) I'd HIGHLY recommend it.! One other thing if you come around this time of year, you'll have the sunshine ALL night so visability is excellent,bring your sunglasses.

The Alcan is in the best shape I've ever seen in half a hundred trips......even that stretch from Beaver Creek to Kluane is greatly improved. Geez!....the black bears.....big ones!

For some reason I just now noticed you have changed your post ID to ALASKA. NICE. VERY NICE. Congrats again.

Good eye.!
