Here we go on a Post (Just Do It says Nike).
For all you may want to know about The Alaska Highway, or the Alcan, Google and Wikipedia stand ready to help you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Highway
Patti and I have driven The Alcan from start to finish, going North to Alaska and South to British Columbia five or ten or even more times. All years before we had websites. So we have none of our photos to show because they are 35mm film photos and the cost of converting them to digital photos is overwhelmingly costly.
Our guest contributor, Dan 99507 .. 99507 is his Anchorage, Alaska postal zip code .. is driving the Alcan as we write this Post. I am showing the photos Dan has sent to us.
Dan was born and raised in Montana. We three became good friends in 1994 and, along with many others, call him "Montana Dan".
Dan has decided that he wants to "winter" in Montana!
We will neither comment upon, nor question, his rationale.
He has purchased a sizeable trailer, which he as "outfitted" to live in, as well as to transport items, which he is towing behind his pickup truck.
A few photos of "Montana Dan's" trailer.

I wish that I had taken some of my own photos before Dan left but Patti and I did not want to get in his way.
Dan is now en route. The two below photos show Dan's pickup truck and the trailer so you can more clearly "visualize" his setup.
Now let's enjoy some Alcan scenery!
The below text messages from Dan says a lot about what he is encountering!
I will sleep in the bunk above the ATV. It's nice and warm in here and I am hooked up to power so I have electricity. My furnace is running nice.
Now read the second text.
Lights out for me. I spent four hours today driving 90 miles in a white out. I'm wore out and my hands are cramping from squeezing the heck out of my steering wheel.

We need to "take a break". This will conclude Part 1 of this series of Posts about our friend Dan's trip South down THE ALASKA HIGHWAY aka THE ALCAN..
Cap and Patti
