A new province
for us.
Downtown
Dawson Creek, BC
Now our
journey begins.
Mile Zero
At least they had a  
pay phone so we
could call home
This highway seems
to change from mile
to mile.
Our second one
in Fort Nelson, BC
was worse!
Our first campsite at Pink
Mountain Campground.  
Advertised as the best
campground on the Alaska
Highway!
We enjoy a break at
a roadside pullout.
These historical
mileposts are almost all
gone now.  Only a few
remain.
Lush forests turn
to bare rock in
short order.
We're back in the
Rockies again.
Waterfalls seem to
be around every
corner.
The road runs along
the edge of Muncho
Lake - literally.
We're still seeing
lots of wildlife.  This
is a Stone Sheep.  It
is smaller than the
Bighorn Sheep.
We're seeing more
bugs than anything
else.  These are
mosquito splatters!
These gas
station/general
store/restaurants
serve the travelers
along the road.
This is a fun drive.  
Sorry about the
focus on this one.
A common site as RV's
fill up.  Gas at this
station was about
$4.75/gal.
Another gorgeous
lake!
Watson Lake was
our first stop.  The
Sign Post Forest is
their claim to fame.
The Yukon.  We're
getting closer!  It
is daylight almost
24 hours now.
There are thousands
of them from all over
the world.
This dozer was used for
building the highway.  I
could drive this thing!
We looped around the
Klondike Highway from
Whitehorse through
Dawson City and
Chicken to avoid some
road construction.  We
came back onto the
Alaska Highway at
Tetlin Junction near
Tok, AK.  (See Dawson
City page.)
Sign on bridge across
Yukon River.  Never let it
be said the government
of Whitehorse doesn't
have a sense of humor.
Back on the road
toward Whitehorse.  
More incredible
scenery.
Whitehorse is the
capital of the Yukon,
but it is smaller than
Hendersonville.
More breathtaking
scenery just north of
Tok, but the clouds
were interfering.
Sign on a gift shop
in Tok.  We liked
Tok!  True Alaskans!
Alaskans don't waste
a lot of money on
fancy courthouses.
This glimpse though
the clouds was just
enough to tease us.
This was an
impressive project.
The end of the line.  
Mile 1422.
It gets cold here!
72 below zero in
Delta Junction.  
Tok reached 83
below just a few
years ago.
We keep seeing
these great signs!  
We never met any
buffalo, fortunately.
We made it!  We also got
there in a hard rain.  A
couple from Columbia,
SC made our picture,
and we returned the
favor.
