Default Building of the Alaskan Highway

Hi Gary:

I think you will find as my wife and I did, much beauty and many points of interest during our trips in that area. Be sure and take any old bypasses of the highway if possible, as that is where you will find the military skeletons of vehicles that were abandoned during the construction of this Highway during WW2. It has been some time since we have been there and I am sure some of the old roads have since overgrown but if you ask some of the natives they may tell you the locations of some of the old military dumps. Just remember one thing Bears have a keen sense of smell especially for human foods. Be sure and take your camera.

Norm.
