End of the Alaska Highway - All 1,422 miles of it

6/23/13

Left Tok, AK continuing up the Alaska Highway to Delta Junction where the road officially ends.  Took a photo op there as you see below before continuing to Fairbanks.  Arrived safely here and set up at the Riverview RV Park in North Pole, AK.  We will begin touring tomorrow here in Fairbanks for about a week.  I look forward to seeing what I can at Ft. Wainwright Army Base formerly know during WWII as Ladd Army Airfield where my dad was stations from early 1943 to late 1946 as part of the Army Air Force’s Cold Weather Test Detachment (this unit is still active today).

RV Report:

We completed the entire Alaska Highway today.  None of you contemplating this trip should fear driving this road.  Scenery is terrific all the way.  Yes you have to be careful in spots, fuel and services are available along the way.  From small travel trailers, 5th wheels, Class A, B, and C.  We saw them all.  Everyone was having a wonderful time.

Fuel:  $ 4.52 gallon for diesel and $ 4.12 for gasoline today in Fairbanks, Alaska.

PS - yes, there are mosquitos up here.  We have been fortunate in that they are not really a problem now - know its not always that way.  We attach a picture of the "State Bird" below:
