Unfortunately, the last I checked Northway is still gravel, result of an
earthquake that destroyed the pavement. Unless you have the range to go
from Whitehorse to Fairbanks(you may very well), Northway is the normal
and most low key place to clear customs.

[quote] Add my name to the Alaska trip. Dates would be sometime in July or
August. Seems like 10-14 days would be about right.
Talked to an experienced Alaska pilot about the runway conditions
verses my low to the ground wheel pants. He said most dirt runways are
covered with pea gravel and after looking at the wheel pants,
suggested that I stick to paved runways. Good news is there are a lot
of paved runways. Also, its legal to land on the highways.
Count me in for 2 souls.

I would be a 2-3 for a 2 week trip but unfortunately the earliest
I could possibly make it would be a Sept 09. Seriously doubt I'll
be ready next year yet.
