Roll Call Alaska 2016
I have been planning this trip for 4+ years. It is now time to update my estimates and make my reservations. Estimate Wash/BC border about 5 May 2016, north on route 97/1/2 to Tok, south to Valdez...

Came through Stone Mtn and Lake Muncho today going south. Just got a hotel room at Dawson Creek. I'm just driving my truck as I'm headed south to pick up a TT I bought in Idaho. There was 6" of snow up on top today. I probably drove through 250 miles or more of snow today.
Trucks spun out causing the problems and then everything came to a stop up on top for about four hours. Saw a DP headed north, looks like he spun out on a curve an slid down to the inside. They were shoveling snow. If they got down to the gravel, he'd probably pull out.
There was a 5th whl headed south that spun out and slid into the north bound lane in a slight jack knife. IMHO way too much of a 5th for what looked like a 2WD - no lock out hubs on the the front axle, but didn't have time to look anymore, there was oncoming traffic. There might be a 4X4 in his future.
Saw a pick up headed north chained up on all fours, he was doing all right. The bob-tail semi spun out one of the hills in front of me. While we sat there for four hours the dummy could have put on a set of chains like the other drivers did.
Left Anch yesterday morning at 3:30AM and was on the road again by 5:30 AM this morning. What are all of RVers doing out there on the road at 5:30AM, or earlier any way??? Most of you are retired, you shouldn't be on the road before 9:00 AM, learn how to enjoy sleeping in.
