Generally, Burwash Landing to Beaver Creek is 25-30 MPH terrain. Just when you think you can speed up, something catches you off guard. Last fall this section was the best I've seen it in years.
The Alaska Border to Beaver Creek section was totally rebuilt in the mid-1990s. Doesn't take long for the freeze/thaw cycle to ruin it. That area is marsh & swamp. Flying over it, it is pond after pond after pond.
Reminds me of the night we crossed from Alaska into Yukon and encountered the construction zone. It was September and darkness was settling in. The flagperson told us the pilot car was off duty, to take it slow, and to stay out of the way of the machines. Yikes ... that was about 10 miles of terror as dirt movers and bulldozers buzzed around us in the dark! They all had big lights on them, but that only blinded us in the darkness!
