  • We finally made it through the Canadian border and spent days driving just to be stopped by wildfires. Highway 97 is shut down near Fort Nelson. Everywhere is full because towns have been evacuated. Where do we go now? Will we have enough supplies to wait it out? Watch to the end to find out.

    Have fun on your trip. In 2004 we were in Riverdale, ND, and we were taken by surprise that there was no use of debt/credit cards in 99% of the stores. We had to go to Bismark or Milton. It was fun but we had to go to the bank for them to contact our credit union to get cash. We started carrying cash in the RV.

    I loved the "I Closed Wolski's" sticker on the back of that sign. It was partially covered over but I know that sticker from a bar in Milwaukee. If you really would like a nice trip where there's lots of wineries and nature places. Door County Wisconsin is east of Green Bay and it's a great place to enjoy. On Washington Island there's a lavender place where there's a big field of lavender. I really think you would enjoy it. If you ever want to stay in your RV in Milwaukee there's a RV park in State Fair Park. It's just minutes from downtown Milwaukee.

    Unless you have your heart set on sitting, the route to the Stewart Cassiar is beautiful too. Carvings in Chetwynn, Smithers is a cute town, lots of old totem poles in both Hazleton. And Kitwankool, glaciers into Stewart and Hyder. The road isn’t as bad as you may think and there are fuel stations on the way. Just fill when you see one. Of course it’s your choice, and you can come back down the Alaska Highway

      We are giving it thought. Waiting to hear back from the officers who are spending the day in Fort nelson due to burglaries. We're at Pink Mountain waiting. So it's a really long way around the other way. And we'd miss the hot springs at Liard, which we were really looking forward to.

    Hello Madam Mayor and Brett, that was a beautiful view, with the snow on the mountains. I had a great job. I drove a cab for ten years in Utah and loved it. The mountains and ski resorts are 15-25 minutes from D.T. S.L. The only thing is, since the WINTER OLYMPICS, the population has grown so much I am starting to feel like I am back in Long Beach CA. When we moved to UT. (cultural shock) I had one year left in High School and if you're not a mormon 🤷‍♀️ it was tuff. THANK GOD I HAD ONE YEAR...anyway, hardly ANY cars on the roads/freeway on a Sunday. I worked night shift for thirty three years. Mormons go home at 5pm and bed my 9. and the big city shuts down. I did moved back CA for a couple of years, but I got used to less traffic, some smog and the beautiful mountains surrounding you. So I came back to UT. Enjoy your journey. Gods Angels😇😇😇 surround you and your home 🙋‍♀️

    My nickname used to be on there x4. I’ve driven the AlCan 4 times. I drove it 2 times in the winter and 2 in the summer back in the 90s. The Yukon shut down tighter than Ft Knox after the sun went down. So you had to plot every stop and make sure you had enough gas and that you made your next stop before the sun went down.

    Had I known you'd be passing so close we would have offered you somewhere to park the RV for a night. Dawson is only about 90 minutes west of where I live. Be careful going north. The highway to Fort Nelson is closed due to fires. Been a bad year for it already. Little bit of info. The Alaska highway actually starts in Edmonton, Alberta. You'd go north through Grande Prairie and on to Dawson from there.

    Fires have started much earlier this year. Here in Manitoba our north is also burning. Regarding the canoe and the distance Mackenzie travelled being in miles, was not too surprising. The metric system came into effect in 1975 here in Canada. I still multiply by .6 to get the mileage when driving. Most still use feet and inches for our height and lbs for our weight. Also for carpentry it is usually in inches..

    • @MadamMayorsAdventures
      @MadamMayorsAdventures  Месяц назад

      I didn't know that. I always thought the metric system made more sense being based on 10. Especially tools. Fractions or millimeters? Metric is way easier.
