Below is the route we took. The flags with numbers are waypoints entered into the GPS, some times I hit the button more than once so the numbers do not reflect the actual days on the road.
I included some pictures from the first time I drove the Alaska Highway, North in July and returned South, in December of 1975. You can see how some things have changed and how some are unchanged.
