Great experience! I moved to AK in 1977 and went outside in 1983. Back in the '70s, the Alaska Highway wasn't paved, and you had to have plastic headlight protectors. Thanks for sharing the photos.

all is still good, now in Washington!!

we over shot dave (shortbus) today, but gonna try to meet up with him marrow since we arnt gonna drive. gonna meet up with infeliciter marrow.

I had to remove my front visor today cause the 3M tape came loose on all the supports and it was flapping in the wind. got to find some more rivets now!!! the visor could handle the Alcan highway, but as soon as we entered the US it came loose.

now for some pics!!!
