Driving the Alaska Hiway
X2 for the "Milepost." I've driven the AlCan probably 10 or more times over the last 40 years. No big deal except for: really cold in the winter, lots of construction/road work through the warm months, flying gravel from big rigs going really fast, expensive fuel.... and it's really the pits if you break down. Other than that it's just like any other drive .... only longer! However, since they've paved it and straightened out the endless twists and turns, it's almost like an interstate. Last trip (have not driven it with my jeep) was in my Dodge 2500 CTD with a cabover camper..... on cruise control most of the way! The last couple hundred miles (just before Alaska) is kinda messed up with some horrible frost heaves.... slow down for those rascals!! Above all, pay attention and adjust accordingly.... it's a beautiful (..and long!) trip.
By the way, I do recommend using credit cards (some smaller stations won't take them) when you can as you get the best exchange rate from your cc company..... also it sure doesn't hurt to carry some extra gas (especially with a jeep!) just in case!
