U.S. Route 287

A 45-year-old brochure in my collection has me intrigued. In the late 1960s, US Route 287 was being promoted as the best route to Alaska. Note the description of the Mileposts in this clip from the brochure - from M.P. 00 at Dawson Creek they go north to Fairbanks at M.P. 1520, and south to Tallahassee, Florida at M.P. 3500 :) Have any of you driven 287 as your main access route north?
