DAY 18 GLENNALLON TO HAINES JUNCTION

The roads could have been better but also could have been worse. Stretches of 70 mph laced with the occasional frost heave, pot hole, or quarter mile of gravel. These areas usually had warning signs but sometimes they didn't just to keep you paying attention.

Only had one of these today:

Lots of these gravel sections:

What made the day great was the 400 plus miles of great weather surrounded by some of the most majestic mountains.  To our left were rolling forested hills of many shades of green. While to the right were incredible high snow capped jagged peaks with lakes and rivers along the road. All under a sky of the deepest, brightest blue turning to turquoise closer to the horizon with patches of brilliant white clouds to break it up. A gorgeous day of which we are rapidly growing accustomed.

Are you sure that "pilot car" was legit? Or do they do that to tourists for fun. HA!
Was imagining being in Alaska from your descriptions and pics, maybe a future vacation? We'll take the Subaru... Have already experienced cold and rain, and freshly fallen snow through the forest on a motorcycle.
