Summer AlCan 2010 – Day 7
Aug
2010
We started in Whitehorse and then headed for a 2pm control in Tok, AK. Then finished the day in Fairbanks, AK. The Alaska Highway on the Canadian side of the border was full of frost heaves. We bottomed out the car a couple of times as did most cars. There’s one very big chip in the windshield. The road was better on the US side. After a quick lunch at Fast Eddy’s in Tok, we started the Tok Junction TSD. Kacee and Oliver in car 6 had the best score of the day.
The mileages are big now. We’ll rollover 4000 today. We’ll do the Chena Ridge TSD and then go for an extreme contol in Cantwell by following the old Denali Highway. Bob Gobright walked up to the group in the parking lot last night. He works up here and has a place nearby.
Tonight we’ll stop in Valdez. Everyone is tired, but still having fun. Tuesday, day 9, is the last day.

Woo hoo. Hope to see what Valdez is like from the BMW crew. Didn’t make it there in 2006. You guys are doing great — hang in there!
