Worst Road Yet

Today we drove the Alaska Highway from Tok to Destruction Bay.  The first 50 miles were fine.  Then the road got BAD.  It made the Tok Cutoff look like a expressway.  Frost heaves in all directions. hundreds of pot holes, ‘repairs’, gravel, dust, hills, more frost heaves, on an on for 150 miles or more. 

07 gravel road entering Canada, 50 km 17 road

That ‘50’ is KPH.  Basically 30 mph or less.

 

Pretty country when one could look at it.

09 Swans and beaver lodge

18 Clouds over Kluane Range 22

 

Another way to travel the Alaska Highway

11 Another waya to travel

08 Drunken  forest

 

This is referred to as a ‘Drunken Forest’.  Sure sign of permafrost.

 

 

 

Hopefully the bad road is pretty much behind us now.
