Anyone traveled the Dempster Hiway lately?? We are heading up early next week.

Yes, similar to what happens in the desert in Australia. Dirt road gets lots of rain and is closed by the authorities (on pain of multi-thousand dollar fines nowadays) to stop damage. Morons drive around the barriers and turn it into a quagmire that extends the road closure for weeks rather than a few hours.
Just needs us to be flexible the same as for the rest of the Alaska trip where landslides and fires can force major changes to timetable and route. One of the reason we travel with full fuel and supplies and full water and empty waste tanks so it is no big deal to spend a few days sitting on the side of the road.
