Extra Tires to the Yukon?

AlaskaShooter, interesting post. One surprising thing I learned, after spending time at the Alcan museum in downtown Dawson's Creek, is that the idea the the US "gave" the highway to Canada at the end of the war, is a myth. Technically they did, but they charged them $108 million for air fields, telephone systems, and other improvements. I get the feeling that the Canadians were not too thrilled about it, as they handed over nearly a billion and a half, in today's dollars, for a poorly built dirt trail. Apparently funding is an ongoing issue, as the US seems unwilling to continue funding for the Shakwak agreement, that rebuilt and maintained the highway from Haines Juction to the AK. border for the last few decades. Ironic that the states have a far greater need for that section than Canada does, but the Yukon government had to hire American lobbyists in an attempt to get paid.
