Since there was no internet connection since the 2nd, I will recap the last three days quickly.
The morning of the 3rd was a windy, cool day in Destruction Bay, YT. We had heard from several sources that the next, and last stage, in Canada would be rough. I have good news and bad news, and its the same news. The road was both not as bad and just as bad as predicted.
In Canada, the frost heaves from the perma-frost, within inches of the road surface, made a paved road hard to maintain. Dips and bumps, split and cracked sections called for cautious driving. Most bad spots were marked with red flags on the shoulder but not all. Sometimes driving on the wrong side of the road was the prudent thing to do. There was not much traffic on the Alaska Highway this day.
