    The next stop was the Sign Post Forest, where I met some cool people. I met this older gentleman all the way from Pennsylvania in his Toyota Tacoma. He told me he has recently retired and is on a solo road trip to Alaska. His plan is just to take his time driving, sightseeing, and let the wind...

    I had a very long drive today. My plan was to drive for 12 hours and get a hotel. But I got there too early and decided to drive for 2 more hours to the next town to spend the night. 90% of my drive today was in heavy rainfall. I did not get to stop as often as I wanted to, but I did see some...

    Here are pictures of the wildlife I saw today. Each of these stops was on the highway where people were all pulling over on sections where the speed limit was 60 mph. People are turning it into a parking lot. Any driver passing by must slow down to below 10 mph before you can safely pass...

    4 Grizzly bears were hit and killed early this month by cars along the highway in Yoho National Park. It hit the National Park hard because the bears killed were very vital to the National Park.

    About 2 hours before I got into Canada, I stopped on the side of the road to take a break. Almost in the middle of nowhere. I realized something was moving in one of the trees. I said I will investigate. I took put my .a ice 2 Pro and launched it. Using the X7 and the X28 zoom functions, I saw...

    I just crossed the border into Canada. I was surprised they asked me 3 times if I had weapons on me. This is how the interview went. "Where are you coming from?" "Texas." "Is this your car?" "Yes." "How long do you plan on staying in Canada?" "A few days. I am on my way to Alaska, but I plan...

    Thanks a lot for the advice. I take it with gratitude. I really appreciate it. You are telling the truth because I have had close calls before from being too tired behind the wheel driving over 12 hours straight. I will work on that. To be honest, one of the best things about any of my road...

    When I bought my brand new 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid, the first trip I took with it was to go and drive on Route 66. That is why I put the number on my car. On that trip, I met a lot of cool people who admired it because I was on Route 66 and I had the number on my car. It was a conversation...

    I left work last night with an ambition to drive 20 hours straight. I realized it wasn't going to happen, so I drove for 4 hours and found a hotel to spend the night. I slept from 1am to 5:30 am. I woke up, took a shower and left for a 16 hours drive today. I just got into Amarillo, TX, in...

    Accident on the Dempster Highway on June 14, 2024. I saw a closure online today on the Dempster Highway and called the visitor information office in Dawson City at 1-867-993-5566. They told me that there was a collision of 2 vehicles heading in opposite directions, so the highway has been...

    My car is not a plug in. Yup, I got 62 mpg to the tank. I hypermile. The car is amazing in the city. It competes with the Prius in mpg numbers in the city, if you hypermile the car. My best tank of gas from this car has been 65 mpg from a whole tank of gas. Let me find that picture and post...

    Great idea. But you might be a bad influence echoing the thoughts I already have in my mind after going to look at a Toyota RAV4 hybrid and a Honda CR-V hybrid. I think I should stop swiping at them online and avoid stopping at the dealership or I might walk out of a dealership with a new car...

    My main concern about the Dempster is rainfall. I posted a thread on tripadvisor and someone recommend a weather app. Well, I ended up downloading a weather app and it shows there will be rainfall on one or more days on my trip on the Dempster Highway. And a single rainfall quickly turns that...
