Hey, a car! There would be stretches of the Alcan where you would drive for hours and not see another vehicle. Road construction ahead, along Muncho Lake, road had washed away during heavy storms. Not much of a delay, had one lane mostly repaired. Muncho Lake, it ran along the roadside...

British Columbia...

Google the information on the phone and it takes you to an interesting video on the making of the Alcan hwy. After three days in Dawsons Creek, British Columbia...finally hit the road again. First moose photo, look close. The views...

Museum at Mile 0 Marker Campground, free if you camp there. Great showers and laundry facilities here. Hard to believe, one week earlier l was saying goodbye to all of the folks at the garage and transportation dept. Muesum... Continued...

Arrived in Dawsons Creek, beginning of the famed Alaskan Hwy (Alcan) on day seven of trip. Rolled northwest of town to Mile 0 Marker Campground. A family of mule deer exited the woods behind me, not sure if it was because of lack of showering...or what...lol. Breakfast/Dinner. May...

Played tourist along the way at times. Wembley Dinosaur Museum. Then saw the largest beaver l've ever seen...and l've seen my fair share... Beaverlodge, Alberta. Moved on up the road to a campground in Tupper, Alberta. Dinner. Yes, l'm not much of a cook, food is just substance...

First camp site in Saskatchewan, Lessard Lake. Since l was traveling solo, had to make a few concessions with my wife. 1) No rough camping, stay at campgrounds unless no other option. 2) No hiking alone, because of health issues and difficulty with uneven ground. 3) ...can't really...

Left August 2nd, barely 24 hours after retiring. Victoria, loaded and pointing north by northwest. After crossing Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and making my way partially through North Dakota, we turned north at Rugby and headed for the border. Border crossing into Manitoba was painless...

Since it's been over 24 hours... Challenge...Mile Marker 0 Alcan Hwy

Should be an add for Depends now...

Even the women?

Was trying to put my finger on the year of your Defender, hood said Puma, but that older Land Rover 110 badge over the grill said pre-1990. Great looking rig, you keep it in excellent shape!

My toes and fingers froze off...just looking at those pictures...lol. Do you use an axillary heater while driving? A candle would put out more heat than my defender during those conditions.

Something l found handy while traveling...is an Essential ltems Bag. Located within easy grasp of drivers compartment. In there would be...tools for making simple field repairs; couple screw drivers, pliers, side-cutters, visegrips, test light, zip-tire, adjustable wrench, electrical tape...

Sorry to bring up an older adventure, but your journey was epic. Thank you, for taking the time to share it with us here.

Very cool, great pictures!

Hope you mean...new to "overlanding"...not overloading...because overloading isn't really the objective here...lol. But, whichever you decide to do...take it slow and go out with a few different folks that overland or remote camp. It's not hard to spend stupid amounts of money on this hobby or...

Same, would sit in the back of our old, well new back then, 65 chevy stationwagon leafing through the road atlas staring at the roads and places. I believe l could read a map before l could read a book. When l was five, our family drove out west for three weeks and when it was my turn to ride...
