We got trapped in the Costco parking lot... rode the storm out and drove back to Flagstaff. First time we had ever had this happen to us! Ranger got a car wash too.

Good excuse to wash the Ranger. My siblings in Goodyear AZ said it didn't hit them.

Dropped the spare, removed all the road debris and checked the air pressure. It was 36 so all good. Mileage will go up with the 5 lbs of road gravel removed from the spare tire rim.
What?? No way!! We don't have gravel and debris on our Idaho roads!! 😂 Did the same last fall. Mine is a Canadian import. Must be some gravel and debris up there, too!🤔

Is that the AlCan Highway, 1920??😂
2020

The Alaska Highway is really something. From Dawson Creek in northeastern BC through Watson Lake, NWT to Whitehorse, YT and on to Delta Junction, AK. Built during WWII - seems someone was rightfully concerned that the Soviets might try to reclaim Alaska while all eyes were on Europe.

There’s another Alaska highway from Hyder, AK to Watson Lake through a corridor in northwestern BC. Ask me how I know…

Duke and Mel. It's funny both of you referencing the Alaska Highway aka the Al Can Highway. There is an episode of ROADKILL in season two or three in which Freiburger and Finnegan traveled the Alaska Highway in the ROADKILL 68 Ranchero.

When my wife was a kid her family drove a motorhome up to Alaska to deliver it then flew back. Drove from north Idaho to western Washington to pickup the motorhome, drove it up north and flew back to Seattle. Everyone was required to carry multiple spares I believe and needed to be self sufficient. This was about 1975. Wild country I'm sure.
