Love the journey you're on.

[@infinitewave5161]

Yup. Most incredible journey I've yet been on! Highly recommend!

[@abiggdaddy1]

Wow. What a journey

[@infinitewave5161]

You're telling me! :)

[@abiggdaddy1]

I heard there is a fire that closed the AICAN. Are you having any issues?

[@infinitewave5161]

@@abiggdaddy1 Well, not when I was on it. Arrived safe and sound at my destination in Alaska a solid week ago now. Still just uploading the footage of the journey. Uploading part 6 now.

Eric, this is Dans wife from RV Pit stop. We are so proud of you. Keep up with your KZbin channel. We love your channel. All your RV pit stop go workers are following you. Can’t wait to see your journey. Take care Eric ❤️🥰😍😊

[@infinitewave5161]

Thanks! Appreciate the love. Definitely plan to continue! I'll confess I'm looking more and more into uploading on other platforms, like Rumble, Odysee, Lybrary, etc. Certainly in addition to KZbin at first. Gets tiresome having to second guess everything I say to be sure I'm not saying something I'm not supposed to say according to KZbin, haha. But probably it will be okay. Not much controversy on my channel ... so far! :)

Hey there - I drove the Alcan in 1977 before it was paved and there were potholes the size of Texas !! Go slow my friend !

[@infinitewave5161]

It was pretty smooth sailing all the way except for a 10 mile stretch from Destruction Bay to Beaver Creek, most of which I didn't dare go more than about 10 mph tops. Otherwise ... AMAZING, OTHERWORLDLY, MOST EPIC SCENERY I'VE EVER SEEN! Perfect weather the whole way, too, except for this video here where I got snowed in at Pink Mountain, BC.

[@wardmontgomery9259]

In 1977 the highway was all gravel from Northern BC to the Alaskan border. The highway was just wide enough for two vehicles to pass each other if they went slow ! It was always a semi going south that sprayed my rig with gravel and even caused the radiator to get punctured ! That was a bummer ... after that I came up with a new strategy for dealing with them sort of like playing "Chicken"

[@infinitewave5161]

Wow. Glad it decided to be different for my trip! :)

@@infinitewave5161 they paved it all the way in the 90's (?)

You might want to check your lug nuts on the truck and trailer - I lost a wheel outside of Whitehorse and it wasn't any fun getting a replacement from the junkyard there ...

[@infinitewave5161]

Funny, I had been considering doing that the whole way and kept forgetting. I still haven't but will soon! As a testament to my extremely good fortune, however ... well, you'll just have to wait and see! :)
