    You can stop anywhere running up through Grande Prairie up to Fort. St. John, BC but then you’ll need Fuel there, Fuel again in Fort Nelson, BC and then make a run for it. There is No cell service between Fort Nelson and Ft. Liard but you can stop at the Liard Hot Springs Lodge and park if needed and get wifi ant the hot springs are across the road if you want to go for a walk / dip. Bring cash with you like $30.00 worth.

    Pretty much what Maclean said, fuel in Fort Nelson, next cardlock is Watson Lake Yukon.

    Beautiful drive, enjoy it. I miss running that way.

    Make sure you have a Petro Pass and AFD card.

    AFD takes credit card. But only $200/transaction (100L).

    I have 1200L fuel capacity. I leave FSJ full. Refill in FN (about 270L). Run all the way to Whitehorse and then back to Watson. Put in 100L at AFD. Continue to FN. Add 200L there. Then continue to FSJ and refill. Loaded FSJ to Whitehorse and travel back empty. Round trip burns 1425L. Super B

    only did that run once from abbotsford to mile 88 at the top of the world highway. i'd love to do that again.

    edit: watch out for bison.
    second edit: i think the bison were closer to dawson city
    third edit: i mean the bison animals, not the dumb bison truckers.. but watch out for them too no matter where you are
