2019 could be the year.
We went to Alaska 20+ years ago on a land/cruise combination. Saw wonderful scenery and stayed in hotels. We are thinking of taking the R-pod on this trip and driving the Alcan. I read a post on another forum by a person who was most unhappy with the roads and especially the Alcan. I got the impression that they were in the middle of a repair cycle and were mostly under construction. I think the topping they use on the roads lasts 2-3 years because of the frost heaves, etc. If that is the case, I'd like to find out the cycle and plan on a time when we can miss most of the construction. Or we might try the ferry and then go to Denali, etc.
I know from previous experience in Newfoundland that none of the potholes are over a meter deep.
You jut have to slow down and be careful.
