Thanks. Doing the trip with the truck would be just at the edge of my ability ... the truck, trailer, and construction equipment , and rough roads, indicates you are a person of great tolerance and patience! Enjoy the great north.
You see the Alcan is closed down right now because of a wildfire at Fort Nelson? Glad you made it through last week and not this week. Utah to Lethbridge has been a first leg of my trip in the past, but last year I only made it as far as Montana before I stopped for the day. I skipped fueling up at Pink Mountain on the way north last year and it almost got me since Buckinghorse River had an issue with their fuel pumps so I couldn't get gas there and didn't have enough to make it to Fort Nelson. Had to use my emergency gas cans for the first time ever. edit: @12:50 you can absolutely stay at the lodge, it's my favorite place to stop and the hotel prices are actually extremely reasonable considering where it's at. Love the Northern Rockies Lodge.
Oh no kidding!? Man I'm glad I left when I did then! I did forget to mention that I misjudged where fuel stations would be twice on this trip and had to pull out the back up gas :P
Eh?! WHADYA MEAN you were glad to be back in the US! Unacceptable. For real though, that's one hell of a drive. Imagine, the majority of Canadian's will never see this part of their own country (me included). Glad you got back up their safely!
