The Alaska Highway has really changed since 1955 when my father first drove an Army Jeep up the Alaskan highway from Bellingham, WA. The many stops where you have stopped wasn't there until Alaska became a State. The old road was gravel with lots chuck wholes and small rivers crossings because the road was pushed through with a D-9 disease track crawler tractor. Happy to see that they have improved the road.

@ArtWeThereYet 11 месяцев назад

Wow, what an incredible part of your family history! Yes, the road is so drastically different than its first iteration. That's why we appreciated all the vehicles being preserved and put on display at the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum. It was so interesting to see the same vehicles there that one sees in the historical photographs of the highway's construction. Absolutely fascinating!

@joannford5860 11 месяцев назад

Where did you stop your trip?Skagway, BC, going to Hanes hwy 2 Junction (WHITEHORSE) by crossing over 1 Alaska Hwy 41 miles to Tetlin36 miles into YUKON Territories to Delta Junction, then north to North Pole

@rovingschlucke7814 11 месяцев назад

I drove it twice on gravel in the 80s while it wasn't paved. That was quite an adventure at the time

@kalen1702 10 месяцев назад

This is fascinating! I'm sure if you created a podcast style video with you and another person, you could generate some interest among this sort of community just talking about your 1955 trip. Don't even need a camera, just some panning stock photos of Alaska and a recording.

@honnorjustice 10 месяцев назад

The construction of the Alaska Highway was a joint effort between the Canadian and American governments. My grandfather was part of the crew that built the Alaska highway. It’s called the AlCan because it was a joint effort.

@ArtWeThereYet 10 месяцев назад

Hey there! You are absolutely right. As we talk about between minutes 23:00 and 25:00 in the video, the Pioneer Rd (which was barely a trail through the woods) was done by the US Army Corp of Engineers, and this involved 7500 civilians, and then thereafter the US Public Roads Administration improvement projects began (which worked with Canadian contractors), and then in 1946 authority was passed to the Canadian Army. But this is really interesting - all the historical accounts we read when researching for this video explained that it was 10,000 service members of the US Army Corp of Engineers that completed the first push, the Pioneer Rd. Did your grandfather work on the initial Pioneer Rd, or did he work on it during the USPRA stage, or after the Canadian Army took over in 1946?

@ArtWeThereYet 10 месяцев назад

This article from the Canadian Encyclopedia talks about these stages of the road's construction: www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/alaska-highway#:~:text=It%20went%20from%20Dawson%20Creek,Creek%2C%20British%20Columbia%20to%20Alaska. It's an interesting read!

@dougtinsley1320 9 месяцев назад

First drove it with my Dad in 1972 and back then only 80 miles of it was paved. I drove it six more times during the years; Winter and Summer, but I'll never forget that first trip

@ArtWeThereYet 9 месяцев назад

I (Cora) drove it with my sister after my first year of college. Won’t ever forget that first trip as well. Sounds like that trip with your Dad was really special..

@dougtinsley1320 9 месяцев назад

@@ArtWeThereYet Yes; it was a special time. We each took a months leave of absence from work and spent the month of August there seeing the State. We didn't the entire round-trip from South Carolina in a 1968 Jeepster Commando. My Dad talked about that trip until he passed away in 1995. Now I'm old but I'll never forget it.

There's an alternate route, called the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, which takes you through western BC up to Watson Lake, Yukon. In 1984 we made a great loop drive, north on the Cassiar, through Dawson City, up the haul road to Wiseman, Fairbanks, Denali, Anchorage, Homer, Whittier, Seward, etc., then south on the Alaska, via Haines, (ferry to) Skagway, Fort Nelson, etc.

We drove the Alcan Highway back in August of 2019, while moving our daughter and son in law to Anchorage. Our route took us two days of driving up through British Columbia via Prince George and the Cassiar Highway, which ultimately intersects with the Alcan just west of Watson Lake. In all, we were on the road for five long days and the distance was just shy of 3200 miles from Bountiful, Utah to Anchorage. Everyone needs to do this drive at least once. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

@ArtWeThereYet Месяц назад

We agree, this drive is a must for anyone of loves road trips! We will be driving back down later this summer and we are planning on taking the Cassiar Highway. We have heard it is a beautiful drive. Thank you so much for watching! 😊

Thank you for such a well-done, entertaining, informative and educational video. I really enjoyed it. Having lived in Alaska during my early elementary school years so many years ago (but most memorably during the 9.2 earthquake in 1964) I don't think about it very much. I remember my first best friend, all the wild berries, huge mosquitos, 20 below temperatures, gardens with huge vegetables, barely daylight winters and no darkness summers, 5 - 10 feet of snow, the moose that just ignored us kids, so many wild bunnies and occasional wolves. I remember my parents digging out and creating snow tunnels to get out to the street. But mostly I remember snow and pine trees and the sounds of the earth shaking all around me. Even though I never had the desire to live in the mountains again, I did truly enjoy the history and geography notes of your video. I can't thank you enough for taking us on this trip with you.

@ArtWeThereYet 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing these memories. For a brief little while, I traveled to your childhood in Alaska. How beautiful. Thank you for that. Wow, to have been through the 1964 quake! I have done extensive research on it in preparation for a future video. It was such a monumental event - not just in Alaska, but on the global scale. We felt a baby quake during our winter in Seward. Just enough to rock the washer and dryer a bit. I can’t imagine experiencing the ‘64 quake. Thank you again for reaching out. Your comment filled us with happiness, knowing that we created something that sparked memories and a wee trip down memory lane. A hug from the highway, Cora

Forests are not "the lungs of the planet." The majority of the oxygen that keeps us alive is from the ocean.

@ArtWeThereYet 9 месяцев назад

Hi there! We are not the first to use the phrase "lungs or lung of the planet" to refer to the taiga, nor will we be the last. The first place I remember hearing it was, in fact, BBC's Planet Earth. You can check out this scientific article that uses the same language here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5622883/#CR83 Stating something's importance does not minimize nor negate the importance of other contributors to the system. I think you are misunderstanding the information given in that section of the video. We are providing information and facts on the boreal forest, including the fact that it "produces a large amount of the world's oxygen". (Which it does - approx 20%). We do not state that it produces the LARGEST amount of oxygen, nor do we state that it produces more than the oceans. If we had stated that, that would be untrue. According to NOAA, the oceans produce roughly 50% of the world's oxygen. It seems that you think we are trying to claim the taiga is the most important actor in the world's carbon and oxygen cycles. We are not doing that. But the taiga IS still a profoundly important actor in these systems, and we provide facts surrounding the role that it plays.

Greetings from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin! Just found your channel and enjoyed your two videos of the Alaska Highway. My best friend moved to Alaska in 1984; the two of us left Oconomowoc on Father's Day and drove (in separate cars...I was delivering a vehicle to someone who had flown up to visit his sister and never left) to Anchorage in 10 days. Except for her losing one of her cats in Tok it was an amazing adventure. Looking forward to your newest videos, and then catching up with your older ones.

Hi Nancy! I (Cora) am also from Wisconsin! I grew up in Viroqua ☺️ That trip in 1984 sounds like it was amazing. Very sad about the kitty getting lost in Tok, though!

Always read in the Encyclopedia in the 70s about this Highway. I still had the old Encyclopedia with me. During that time it was considered the Longest Highway in the world. If I am not mistaken about this facts.During that time it was more lusy, lonely and cooler than now.

Yes, indeed, the Alaska Highway has had many faces over the years.

We had to put screens on the headlights to keep rocks from breaking them , Soda pop was $1 a can and gas was 45. per gallon. That was considered high back then. Other wise smooth sailing.

Oh, wow! I didn't realize a forest could be bigger than the Amazon😳 Taiga is not as diverse as rain forrests, right? But it's really beautiful!

@ArtWeThereYet Год назад

That's a good question! I know that the SOIL of rainforests is surprisingly dead. It's very counter-intuitive, but true. All the rain leads to leaching of all the nutrients out of the soil. BUT I do believe that rainforests win when it comes to biodiversity of plant and animal species. I believe! Double-check me on that though!

@acnlelis Год назад

@@ArtWeThereYet Precisely! Deforestation is very stupid: Cattle needs an imense deforested area there because the soil is poor! But there is a thick, loose layer of decomposing leaves that ensures the right humidity and temperature. It's exactly the kind of soil all the animal and vegetal species need to prosper. Henry Ford did a great stupidity to the BR Amazonia: He didn't respect the Amazonia way of life and grew a monoculture. Failed miserably, of course. Then he left the large destroyed area.

@cumberlandquiltchic1 Год назад

Kinda like people are doing to the rainforest here in the smokies of western NC. Cutting trees down, chopping off tops of mountains and building houses and bulldozing into sides. Building houses and subdivisions in fields. They destroyed florida now they come here and buy sight unseen overnight .

Hey! Thanks for the video! It’s really helping us plan our trip! We have a 34’ camper, and we were wondering if there is any day parking for the hot springs for rigs our length. We weren’t planning on camping at that campground.

@ArtWeThereYet 4 месяца назад

Hurray! So glad the video is being helpful! You know what….I believe there is day parking for RVs inside the gates to the hot springs. But if not, there is a big parking lot right on the road, right across from where you turn into the hot springs. So for sure you guys will have a place to park while you visit the springs, even if you’re not staying in their campground 👍👍

I think I need a geologist. Cora, I've seen on the maps that there are other hot springs nearby. Could it be that there is a magma pluton that has been cloistered under the mountains and that it increases the temperature of the water that seeps through the fissures of the mountain?

@ArtWeThereYet Год назад

Hey! That's a good question and I love that you are thinking in that direction! To be honest, I am not sure. This page has some really good information: chis.nrcan.gc.ca/volcano-volcan/can-vol-en.php British Columbia is along the Ring of Fire, so volcanic activity is definitely part of the scene in that part of the world. Whether there is a magma plume in or around that area, I do not know. But! I do know that if there was one in the past and it is currently cooling into a granitic pluton, then that heat will be around for a LONG TIME.

@ArtWeThereYet Год назад

Bobby's engine is a 2001 DT466E engine with about 238,000 miles on it. It's very frustrating because this engine has a reputation for being very reliable, but ours has had a lot of issues. We have replaced almost everything in it! We have replaced the: fuel pump, starter, fuel pressure regulator, oil pump, alternator, clutch fan, turbo hose, ICP sensor, tensioner and pulley, king pins, shocks, and solenoids. AND we replaced all six tires and did a full engine rebuild! That is why we call the bus "Princess Bobby" 🤣 If you want to watch the video with the whole story about the engine rebuild, here it is! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cAPnVteLoRo.html

@isx530gary Год назад

@@ArtWeThereYet you are quite correct these engines to have a reputation for being very reliable. The problem is you cannot control how the vehicle was treated prior to you getting it. Reading what you’ve done to this vehicle you will have many years of service side of it after these updates and corrections. It doesn’t matter what it is whether it’s a vehicle or relationship a home if you don’t love it spend time with expend money on it, take care of it it will quit. Some items are more expensive than others lol. I know you know this but keep your oil change change it early and frequently on all the boxes. there are some items externally on the motor their cost of doing business. They just have to be replaced a certain amount of time. I know caterpillar used to have a program to where everything had a programmed time to change it. They called it there B50. Program if you follow their prescribed procedure over 50% of the vehicles with surpassed the mileage, they predicted on each item this is 20 years ago with a little extra love and care these engine parts should supersede the original mileage.
