New travels, different highways - Updated!!!

[LadyNorthStar]

No doubt, espcially a 6 month old one.

Yup, he had the highway closed for a couple of hours...shoulda seen the line up of eveybody waitin'. Hadn't heard, just saw the results.

Dumb *****!!

BTW...no am not pulling for Grimshaw anymore, a few things happened a bit ago & I decided it was time to move on, put my girl on with Byers...so far so good, but ask me again in 6 months!

I got my Yukon tin there last week, so's I get the feeling they got keepin' me around in mind!

Here are some of my last couple of trips to Whitehorse....spring is arriving in the North!







And the most unique rainbow I have seen in a long time:







These curves were kind of interesting this trip:







And one of the many wildlife I happened to see, just had time to snap her picture before she slipped into the trees....caribou or reindeer!

Hey Kat,
Thanks for lunch the other day!!
Gotta LOVE the fog that hits the Summit, and even worse on Steamboat, at certain times of the year.
Turns out I'll be seein you on the road after all, Ill be runnin for Pacific till September or so. I'll be in an 09 International doin Ft Nelson switches.
=D (I think its Unit 441)

[wildkat]

That's GREAT! I was supposed to go to Nelson tonight, but Jack decided he wanted to go there tonight, so just got a short one then likely Nelson tomorrow, then Whitehorse again on Friday, so will be looking for you down the road... Pacific it is! You have my number so give me a shout if you happen to be in Nelson on Thursday & we'll catch up!

[LadyNorthStar]

I'll be heading to Nelson tomorrow morning with a drop or 2 in Watson, then over night at the 5th wheel. NO idea what time their switches are coming these days!

Hey Lady,

Where would be a good place to stop for dinner and a sleep around Teslin or Marsh lake... ?

CVSA week when I have to do a long one... :?

Rounder from Prudhoe Bay to Nisku :shock:

A good spot in fairbanks would be good info too, thanks.

Leaving June 1 :wink:

[LadyNorthStar]

Never been to Fairbanks.
As for Teslin or Marsh Lake, how about.... Teslin or Marsh Lake? Marsh Lake is nothing, but theres a pullout there. Teslin has a store, or a pullout a ways North of it. This ain't not city scape where ya gotta hunt for parkin, you know that. lol
As for dinner, you're outta luck! Better eat in Whitehorse. If your time is alright you can eat at Jakes Corner.
Actually MuckLuck Annies is open, need a decent time there again.

Another good place is Sasquatch Crossing at Mile 147...but better be hungry when you stop there or you'll be takin most of it with you!

I stopped there on the way home last weekend had their BBQ beef on a bun, fries/onion rings & soup with iced tea & coffee to go $13 including tax & I took most of the beef 'n' bun for lunch the next day!

[LadyNorthStar]

Had to take some shots of Muncho this week, never seen it so calm, everyone was commenting. And another of the dreaded 30km corner.

[LadyNorthStar]

And these priceless ones, one of my co workers from the last co i worked for. Big puff of blowing snow hit him and he was blinded. Really, he couldn't have gotten any closer without going over. The tractor was teetering a bit. Photo taken by my buddy Dane.

[wildkat]

Absolutely on both sets. I just love running along the lake there, but am always glad when I do it alone. Reminds me of the Snake Pit along the Fraser Canyon...back before the Coq even existed!

I finally made it home today & FINALLY have a weekend off...am just BEAT!!

OMG! talk about typo's 3 in this short stretch...go back & fix 'em all....GEEZ I must be tired!!

[LadyNorthStar]

Geeze forgot to tell you. Reason #43627257 why I love trucking in the North. I broke down the other day just by the border, 12 miles or so out of Watson.
The DOT on duty (won't mention names, he doesn't wanna be known as a softy lol) gave me his pick up to run back and forth to the truck. (No cell service where it was of course.)

I love Yukon Carrier Compliance. =P

[wildkat]

Gotta love them Northern DOT...guys in the Territories are like that too... I blew a tire once comin' into Enterprise .... was 48 below...I'd just got back to where I had decent big radio range, called the DOT & he had a service truck out of Hay River waiting at Robinson's yard WITH permission from Robinson to use their shop to get me fixed up. I always told Dale one of these days I was gonna kiss him! He blushes every time!
