Arrived Haines Jct..Winnipeg route

[Dog_Up]

No mention of this route in milepost, because there's nothing to mention. From North Portal border to Edmonton is a gradual climb, with ample gas stops, but not much else. No pull outs or rest areas, and the one CG I went by was closed. Ed to Muncho was all good road, with zero delays. The only issues I've had is finding a CG when I decide to stop, that isn't full of locals. I've went by 4 that resembled gypsy camps, and ended up each night in a pullout. Nugget City proved an oasis just past Watson Lake, the rv park was perfect, and the restaurant served up an awesome dinner. Road from here to Haines had two delays of about 20 min each, but roads otherwise good..
Tomorrow last leg into North Pole..

just made the run from Whitehorse to Tok Sunday, Tok to Fairbanks on Monday.

Frost heave are deep plentiful west of Whitehorse. Tok to Fairbanks not so bad but they are still pretty frequent.

How awesome! Have a safe trip and share a pic or 2 eh!

If anyone is serious about the so called Winnipeg route you had better check a map.North Portal is a border crossing in saskatchewan,Winnipeg is north og Emerson border crossing in Manitoba and have no relation to each other and are many hours apart.

Oh oh, you'll have some more comments after driving from Destruction Bay/Burwash Landing to Beaver Creek.

Did you go to Winnipeg then North Portal then Edmonton then Muncho, or the other way, North Portal then Winnipeg then Edmonton - which is the more common routing for those taking the Not Much To See Tour?
