The roads are smooth and long again. Back to 100 kph and cruise control off and on; a LOT of off and on. These big long roads have miles and miles of nothing but kilometers. Long stretches without another vehicle either direction; again, not what we expected. We expected a strung-out caravan of a *lot* of people headed for Alaska. Overall, other than that rough day yesterday, we’re surprised by how good the road is along the Alaska Highway. Occasional sections of road patches and loose gravel, but mostly good pavement.
Back and forth between Yukon and British Columbia.
It’s not that we can’t make up our minds which province to be in, that’s just how the road goes.
Stopped in Watson Lake, our only civilization for the day, for fuel, lunch, mapping, reservation, cellphone calls, a touch of internet, and the sign forest.
We’re seeing more off-road RVs than we usually do.
Not as much wildlife today.
Still saw a few bear and bison though.
Done for the day at Teslin Lake.
Can’t get enough connection to update the trip map yet. Can get some cellphone to look up sunset and distance. Sunset tonight 11:19. Last light 1:09am. 1:09am! Last light for tonight is TOMRROW! Does that make any sense?
698 miles to Fairbanks.
