I currently have the 2013 edition of the Milepost. Planning a long trip through Canada and Alaska this summer (2014). Do I really need the 2014 edition also??

Probably not; however, may I suggest another publication that we found to be even better than the milepost. THIS is the web page for it. Many of us who have used it on our travels to Alaska, swear by it. We hardly even looked at the Milepost after we got the Churches book.Good luck and have a great trip. Watch out for those pesky frost heaves.Ron

x2 recommendation for the Church's book ... the Milepost is kind of like a yellow-pages, and printed on lightweight magazine stock. The Church's book has a nicer format, and is printed on a more normal paper.I took both on my incomplete attempt last year and plan to take both on my attempt this year to Alaska.

I just received notice that the free "North to Alaska" guide is now available to be sent to those requesting a copy. In the past it has been a very well done guide. It is a joint publication of the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, Yukon Territory and the State of Alaska.I buy a new Milepost every year, whether I am going to Alaska or not, as I tend to collect them. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 50+ or - of the editions, going back as far as 1953. 1962 is the earliest one that I bought and personally used to drive to Alaska. Probably not necessary to buy one yearly,but it doesn't cost that much to have a new one, if you buy one at a discount somewhere. The Church book is also excellent as mentioned above. In the last ten years of trips, I have often bought two copies of the Milepost, one to save and one to cut up and staple, to make it a more manageable size and weight. LOL www.northtoalaska.com to order the guide or down load it. There is a "clicky" on the page to fill out your mailing information. Of course this seems to place a person on many different mailing lists from interests regarding the north country.

Thanks all. I do have the North to Alaska guide - and have found it also very helpful. I will check on the Church information.
