      Just found this site, you mentioned being only 1 road into Alaska, that's not true, the route you took and the summer route through Dawson City and up over the Top of the world highway into Alaska. Also at Watson Lake, there is another highway south, the Stewart-Cassier highway down to Yellowhead highway 16, where you can go west to the coast or East to Prince George.

    This brings back memories. My wife and I drove this road a half dozen times between 1972 and 1982. Also being an artist and musician, the road inspires many things. I did a beautiful painting of Kluane Lake. I don't miss the mosquitoes however. The first time driving it there was 900 miles of unpaved dirt.

    Drove the Alaska Highway 4 times over 30 years of living in Alaska. I have taken the eastern, middle and western routes.
    2 of those runs were in converted schoolies.
    Favorite spot: Liard Hot Springs.

    Sorry if this is a silly question but I'm wondering whether you carry onboard your skoolie extra cans of gas? I haven't seen any gas stations/fill ups during this Alaska series and since I'd like to do similar drive myself next spring I want to make sure I don't run out of gas (my skoolie is a mini/23 feet, not full-sized like yours). LOVE this Alaska series btw....so well done!

    • @ArtWeThereYet
      @ArtWeThereYet  Рік тому +2

      Hey Elizabeth - not a silly question at all! We did not need to carry extra cans. We have a 60 gallon tank. We filled up/topped off in Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson, Muncho Lake, Watson Lake, Teslin, and Whitehorse. We shoudl have filled up in Beaver Creek, but we didn't and were running really low rolling into Tok, but we made it. Definitely fill up at Beaver Creek. That was the only time we ran so low that we were nervous. Otherwise, all the other stretches between the other towns we felt completely comfortable and not nervous about fuel levels at all.
