Default Still there

They are still there. However, the government hauled all wrecks to that one site from up and down the highway. There isn't much there except those very stripped and rusted cabs. The highway has been improved so much that many of the old segments have been cut from the highway by deep ditches, if you are not in a 4x4 you aren't driving them. And even then if the ditch is wet, be prepared for axle deep clay or gumbo. The road up to the start of the canol hiking trail is still there and very representative of the old Alcan highway if you want the experience. I drove it for 50km and sure had a new appreciation for the guys who drove the 1500mile highway, and the gravel road I was on was very improved over their gravel roads.
