Alaska Highway Firsthand

Remember my friend who was driving back to Alaska after her son's Harding graduation?

As luck would have it, just after I blogged on the Alaska Highway yesterday, she posted PICTURES of journey (including the famed road)!

Here are few of my favorites. (Hey, people use MY pictures all the time on their blogs. I'm just returning the favor! Ha, ha!)















Sign in Canada telling about the construction of the Alaska Highway!




Milepost 0 - the beginning of the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek, BC

















Destruction Bay














Section of road construction - not so nice!




























Caribou crossing the highway behind them (looking out back window of vehicle)




Mirror Lake

























One of those "remote" stretches! (Also good advertising!) My friend wrote that they were actually excited by this sign - telling them that they were close to the U.S. border!






One of "many" bears they saw along the road

We many never see this sign (unless we someday DRIVE into Alaska)!
