I'm from up here too and can let you in on anything about the Haul Road and Alaska roads you'd want to know. I drive it for work about every 3 weeks throughout the year. Right now is no good though...-17 F here in Fairbanks is way to cold...get a snowmachine and you'll be on the right track...PM me if you wanna know anything

Check over in the Road Trips Thread - lots over there. Good luck and let us know if they ever finish the Lifetime Vesting Construction Project at Kluane Lake.
