Hi again!, We are in Whitehorse, Yukon. We checked in with the travel information place, and guess what???? Foiled again! We are now on the rain shadow side of the St. Elias Mountains and it is dry here, (although it is sprinkling and cloudy right now!!!). So dry that they have a fire ban and the road into British Columbia has a forest fire and is currently closed. That is the Cassiar Highway we want to take south. We also found out that the Demster Highway is also closed due to washouts. We weren't planning on that one anyway.
We do plan to go North from Whitehorse to Carmacks and turn east on the John Campbell Highway and travel a road we have not done before. It is north of the Alaska Highway, is gravel most the way, goes through Faro and Ross River and connects with the Alaska Highway at Watson Lake. There we can check on the Cassiar Hwy, and still be able to take it if it is open!! We will probably be about 3-4 days taking the Campbell Hwy., so I hope by then the road is open!!!
Will keep you posted!! Take care, Carol & Ned
