Well, I'm not afraid to say I used the term "Alcan" out of ignorance. Before we took our trip to Alaska in 2013, I knew nothing about the road or how it came to be. I only knew that it traversed Canada before entering Alaska, so I thought the name Alcan was a natural. I know differently now and really have enjoyed learning about the Alaska highway and the territories it spans. I bet there are many people like me who just didn't know.
Thanks to Sue and the "Milepost" I am re-educated! :)
