Alaskan Highway






Left Dawson City this morning heading up the Alaskan Highway. If you look real close at the first pic you can see one of the moose that we saw today. Saw a total of 3 moose and 4 deer. The first moose we saw I couldn't get off the road to get a picture of. This one let me stop, get the camera, point it at him, then high-tailed it for the trees. She didn't stay long enough for a good pic, guess she was camera shy. This part of the highway is pretty flat. You drive along on top of the ridge for a long way then all of a sudden it's down to the next river. The grades going down are 6 to 8 percent, so they are pretty steep and curvy. Then it's back up the other side to the ridge top again. The pavement is real good for the most part. You hit short stretches of kind of ruff road, not bad so far. We're in Fort Nelson tonight parked along the road. They have lots of parking on the access roads for rvs and it's free. Tomorrow we hope to get a site at Liard Hot Springs for the night. The sites are first come so we have to try and get an early start in the morning. So good night for now.
Till next time
Duane and Louise
