Dawson Creek to Whitehorse, YT

The ALCAN, which officially starts at Dawson Creek is a fairly decent road today.  Speeds typically average 55 to 60 mph or 80 to 100 kph.  There are a few rough patches, which you will see below, and a few sections which can be describd as a "washboard".  After traveling more than 800 miles, our new coach is officially "broken in".  It still performs well but has developed a few rattles.  Biggest challenge now is to try and keep it clean.
