We got to Sterling on the Kenai Friday in snow from Chistochina to Girdwood.
The road is very good this year, the best I have seen it. BUT....
The asphalt patches west of Watson Lake hide some potholes that are quite hard to see. We saw a number of crews patching the road, but they had not gotten to these yet.
The road west and north of Destruction Bay still has some road damage, but as of 16 May they were pretty mild, most can be done at around 30mph with no issues.
Fuel was $1.42 at Contact Creek, $1.40 in Teslin, $1.42 in Otter Falls, all per litre. Fuel in Tok was $4.64, Palmer Fred Meyer was $4.24, saw stations in Anchorage at $4.15, and Fred Meyer in Soldotna is $4.56.
Forecast is for summer weather in Southcentral.
Happy and safe travels.
