Extra Tires to the Yukon?

AK silvereagle, the incident of the poor guy on the motorcycle, following us, was in 2010. I have a fraction of your experience, having spent four summers traveling in Alaska and the Yukon, but that was the worst patch of road I had ever suffered through, anywhere ,including traveling in rural areas of a few third world countries, while working for an NGO. It had many places where the road had splits that ran from a few feet to a few hundred feet long. These cracks ran with the direction of travel, and were often a foot or two wide, and who knows how deep. Other times I actually followed a well worn path that left the roadway and traveled down the shoulder, to get around areas that were impassible. I did notice that the same route in 2015 was a lot better, but the whole concept of a road there kind of reminds me of trying to pee on a wildfire. You may get a few points for the effort, but in the end, success is unlikely.
