    I just got back from a round to Alaska. Double extra triple secret load...grin. Several thousands of miles of no interstate highway and no peelots!! But it sure beats running the lower 48. Not a single cop to be seen from Edmonton to Alaska! Here's some pics.......

    Looks like fun.

    I took my picture in 1984 on my drive up to Inuvik. :biggrin_2559:

    How did things go with your spread; permit(s), light load, etc.?

    That old pic is too cool man! Unreal how the growth on the mountainside is virtualy unchanged in all these years!

    I was the only guy up there with a spread (untill Alaska) but it was not a problem, as I wasnt heavy. Candian permit$ were a breeze. I plated my truck for Alaska, as it's cheeper that way than a temp permit, if ya can believe that.

    Way cool, great pics. Bet bumping into one of those fellas will leave a dent.

    I want to make this trip at least once before I stop driving. Just to say I did it.
