The first gas station in Alaska.  At least $4.64/gallon  is less than the $5.70/gallon in Whitehorse	The Alaska Highway heads northwest into a broad valley
The Alaska Highway continued to have numerous  pavement breaks resulting from the harsh winter weather	The Alaska Highway is under repair each summer
The asphalt breaks up and is the removed with fresh gravel and rock replacing the surface	Many of these sections are then rebuilt.  With no other route, traffic must negotiate the road construction site
A moisture barrier is laid down before the road surface is built	Once the gravel surface it applied, it then awaits an asphalt surface
Once the gravel surface it applied, it then awaits an asphalt surface	Until that occurs, traffic along the Alaska Highway must endure rough and dusty roads

	This river flowing out of the mountains in the distance still has ice in it despite the June 25 date.
It was 75 F and lower elevation, yet ice from the winter lingers just south of Delta Junction, AK	We arrive in Delta Junction, AK at the official end of the Alaska Highway

and we found some huge mosquitoes!
