I just got an email from a member of my history group telling me that the Canadian Rangers are planning the same trip we are, they are hooking up with US forces in Alaska as soon as they cross the border, however I dont think we can be involved with this as it is a military exercise involving CR units from BC, AB, and the Yukon, they are calling it "Northern Trek"

I can talk to Reg Hodgson or Al Nickolson MVPA to see what they have heard . Reg was very active the last time they went up .I'm sure Tourisim in Alberta and BC would be very supportive . George

Hey George
Thanks, that would be great, I hope the MVPA decides to go, I am going to join the group some day as I have a lot of good things about them, I am also going to see about joining "Western Command" so far joining this forum has proved to be very educational and informative. Gary

It should be a good trip .The road is very good and there won't be any mosquitos by Aug .The last time I went up I drove to White Horse from 100 mile east of Dawson Creek one day . Then loaded a 45 Holmes wrecker for my DT969 ,did some visiting and drove back the next day with the wrecker .The Dempster road has alot of crushed granite rock that is hard on the tires .There is a neet museum in FT Nelson on the south side of the road with some military things .Most of the military vehicles that worked on the hiway ,you will be driving over them The fellow that owned the Petro Canada service station in Watson lake buried most of the vehicles on the Canol pipline just a few years ago .It will be a great experience and I have always said It is twice as far to go North as to go South .When you are in Dawson City you are half way to the north pole .I hope to meet you folks in Dawson Creek .George
