As I said, it was a true adventure. When we got to Whitehorse, Yukon the Scale Master pulled us in and suggested we shut down in town for the night. The temp was -30 F (actual, not wind chill) and informed us there was nothing that would be open for 200 miles, wouldn't be much traffic and if we broke down it would be very dangerous. We had lost our phone signals a long way back and at that point had lost Qualcomm signal also. Took the suggestion. Next morning got up and saw what they call "ice fog", thickest fog I have ever seen. Almost hit an Elk, Moose or Caribou, not sure which, but it would of messed up the truck for sure. We saw a heard of Buffalo, some of them roaming down the road as if they owned it. Drove up a mountain that was so high, we went into the clouds. The northern Rockies make the Colorado Rockies look like the Blue Ridge. One night the moon was hidden, no towns, houses or businesses for 2 hours, literally the only light I had was the truck lights. The one thing that stood out the most, and you just can't explain with words, and even the pictures don't capture is the vastness of it all. Took some great pictures, or at least during the 4 hours or so of daylight we had. Would love to go again, but think I would prefer to do it between April and September. I would tell anyone to go as long as their truck is running well, you really don't want to break down up there. Miles and miles of nothing, 2 lane roads with no shoulders, and every thing is very expensive. BTW take lots of money and cash in hand. The fuel then was almost $4 gal with the conversions. Very few truck stops, they're not like the one's in the states, and most don't take comdata or t-card. I tried to include a pic, but couldn't get it to download. Will post some, someday if I figure out how.
