20150628: Day 21, The Alcan-Burwash Landing to Beaver Creek, Yukon
The 28th of June, 2015, was our 21st day of travel. The focus of this video is NOT the abundant and attractive surrounding landscape seen in the Yukon as we travelled down the road, but rather is about a segment of the old Alcan Highway (today known as Highway 1 or The Alaska Highway) itself. My first video about a road!
The segment of Highway 1 from Burwash Landing, Yukon, Canada to Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada remains one of the roughest highways I've travelled thanks to wintertime road upheavals and distortions due to permafrost and other ravages of winter and the seeming inability to keep up with road repairs during the short summer months. The sheer number of ruts, loose rocks, dips, and potholes along this segment of road makes traversing it a navigational challenge.
Watch as this segment of the Alcan slowly morphs from a decent road near Burwash Landing into one that may challenge the mechanical integrity of your vehicle and your kidneys. We've taken over 3 hours of Dash Cam videos and reduced them to 57 minutes of torturous driving experience for your viewing pleasure! This video should put to rest stories as to how bad or good this road really is...and how challenging!
By the time we reached and drove beyond the Canadian Border Checkpoint at Beaver Creek towards Tok, AK we began to see the road morph once again into some semblance of normalcy! A real relief!
This video was captured using a Cobra Dash Cam with GPS. You can see in the video's lower right-hand corner of the screen the local date/time of day as well as the GPS coordinates of our location at the time the video was captured. Watch as the road really deteriorates at around 08:33!
In March of 1942 U. S. Army Engineers began construction on the Alcan Highway (today known as the Alaska Highway, or Highway 1) in response to a need to provide road transportation to Alaska's interior (Fairbanks) in support of the Lend Lease war effort with Russia, as well as to provide for the protection of the Lower 48. It stretched from Dawson Creek (Milepost 0), British Columbia, Canada to Delta Junction, Alaska (Milepost 1422), via Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, a distance of about 1,700 miles. Two teams of engineers built this road, approaching each other from opposite directions. The entire route was completed on October 28th, 1942 with the northern linkup occurring at Beaver Creek (Milepost 1202), Yukon, Canada.
This section of road between Burwash Landing and Beaver Creek is 106.38 miles (171.2 km) long, normally taking approximately 2 hours and 31 minutes to travel...depending! The road begins to deteriorate shortly after traveling north of Burwash Landing, eventually becoming nothing more than a crushed gravel, dirt, dust, ruts and pothole plagued road. Not until reaching Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada does this road regain some semblance of quality that would promise less damage to a vehicle and/or its tires. Beaver Creek, Canada's westernmost community, is also the location of the nearby Beaver Creek Border Crossing for traffic leaving Alaska and entering Canada. The checkpoint for traffic entering Alaska from Canada is another 18 miles up the road heading towards Alaska.
An ultimate destination for folks traveling this section of road is to reach Tok, Alaska, USA...the gateway town to Alaska's northern interior, and the city of Fairbanks, AK. The Alcan Highway ends at Delta Junction, Alaska where it meets the Richardson Highway (Alaska Route 4) and continues the additional 96 miles (Alaska Route 2) to Fairbanks, AK.
It took us from 07:24am to 10:57am, a little over 3.3 hours, on the 28th of June 2015 to traverse this section of road. We were towing our 25' RV trailer on our way to Tok, AK, having left Cottonwood RV Park on Kluane Lake just south of Burwash Landing a short time earlier. Our early departure from the RV park that morning resulted in our arrival at the Kluane Museum of Natural History in time to find it that it had not yet opened for the day.
It got to the point around 08:38 AM that the road was so bad it seemed more of a primitive path than a road. (GPS N61 42.48.3 W139 49.53.4). More than likely it was along here that our trailer bathroom's medicine cabinet became detached from the wall and the roll of toilet paper completely unrolled onto the floor! We encountered clusters of potholes impossible to navigate around. Traveling at speeds greater than 25mph may be damaging to trailer and/or vehicle contents if not the vehicles themselves. There are NO service stations along this route if one should need help or assistance!
We were passed by several vehicles along the way since we travelled at slower speeds than the maximum allowed. We would eventually catch up to these same vehicles which were now travelling as slow as we were. I wonder which bump in the road convinced them to do so? :-)

the communities are relatively new. And so, building that sense of place and for people to have a real feeling of home it builds, I think, social health and also economic health.

Andy Hooper's Truck At Its New Home
Yukon's most famous truck, an old workhorse of a vehicle that became well-known around the territory for moving buildings, will be preserved at the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse.
The museum began a fundraising drive Monday to build a shelter and display for the tow truck owned for many years by the late Andy Hooper in Whitehorse.
Andy Hooper
Any old timer could tell you, Andy could pretty well move anything. And the truck always went to work for him and he used to brag it would start in 50 below no problem, said artist Jim Robb, who often sketched the truck as part of his efforts to portray Yukon's Colourful Five Percent.
It's part of the legend of the North, Andy's truck — and Andy himself, Robb said.
The truck was donated to the museum by Hooper's son, George Mease, who owned the vehicle since Hooper died, 25 years ago.
Truck was 'a well-beloved personality'
The truck was first brought to Yukon by the Canadian military during the Second World War, and acquired by Hooper sometime after that, said Janna Powell, executive director of the Transportation Museum.

Hooper continued to use it for the rest of his life — sometimes to the annoyance of other drivers, she said.
His daughter Linda remembers driving up Two Mile Hill ... it would be slowing everybody down, Powell said.
He thought everybody was in a rush, and nobody's going anywhere... and you know, times don't change.
Powell said when Linda was a small child she would spend the day with her father, often sleeping in a little bed Hooper installed on the passenger side floor in the truck's cab.

This truck was just a well-beloved personality. I think it's fair to call it a personality, in the town, Powell said.
The museum is hoping to raise $20,000 to pay for a covered shelter and display explaining the history of the truck.
Although we don't want to sterilize it, what we also don't want to do is let it degrade further, Powell said.

Alaska Hwy, Dawson Creek to Whitehorse Canada
In Dawson Creek we stopped at Mile 0 the start of the Alaskan Hwy. Then on to Watson Lake we stopped at the sign post forest, can you find our sign? After that we headed to Whitehorse to visit the Yukon Transportation Museum where we learned about the history of the Klondike River and the Yukon. We also took a drive and a hike up Gray's Mountain we saw a black bear but not fast enough to get a photo. The scenery was awesome I almost conquered my fear of heights!

YTMRex Learns about Beringia
#YTMRex is interested in - not only all things fossil fueled - but also the other interesting delicious transportation stories involving people, dogs and camels. Today she had a great tour learning about early transportation at the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre.
Incidentally, YTM and the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre are both open Sundays and Mondays 12-5 and the two organizations offer a Combo Pass.
If you are at the YTM, or anywhere else, and you happen to see YTMRex… please don't be scared - she is really quite nice. She is particularly lovely if you take a picture of her and tag her #YTMRex - she is a little arrogant and likes to see herself on Twitter and Facebook and the rest.

Big thanks to our friends at the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre for being such good sports!

카크로스에서 골드러시 흔적을 볼 수 있는 것이 카크로스 역과 유콘 루트라는 철도다. 캐나다 유콘 카크로스에서 미국 알래스카 스캐그웨이라는 조그만 항구도시까지 가는 기차다. 1959년 영국 엘리자베스 여왕도 유콘 루트 기차를 방문했다. 한번 운행 시 270여명을 태우고 가는 유콘 루트는 세 개정도 관광코스가 있다. 요금은 한 사람당 약 12만원부터 20만원까지가 있고, 여름 성수기 때는 매일 운행한다. 기차는 카크로스 역을 출발하자마자 베넷 호수를 끼고 한참을 달린다. 베넷호수는 골드러시 당시 카크로스에서 화이트호스를 거쳐 도슨시티까지 중요한 뱃길 교통수단이었다. 호수가 너무 길어 강으로 착각할 정도다. 유콘 루트 기차는 유콘에서 골드러시가 한창이던 1898년에 건설되기 시작했다. 캐나다 유콘에서 금광이 발견되었다는 소식은 미국과 영국의 많은 자본가들로 하여금 투자를 하게 만들었고, 그것이 바로 유콘 루트 철도 공사의 시작이었다. 공사 시작 2년 만에 카크로스까지 철도가 완공되었다. 그 길이는 108킬로미터다. 장비를 제대로 갖추지 못했던 시절에 한겨울에는 폭설과 영하 60도까지 내려가는 혹한을 견디면서 만든 철도다.
