Hi 14GP, good to have you join us mate.
If we are up in BC, I am not so sure it is recommended to ride back down to Deerfield Beach FL to fuel up. The PIX above shows a Chevron station in Deerfield Beach FL. LOL But then, I am been wrong before. (Not like CR who is always right. 'juss ask him. LOLOL
)
Here's the hours for the gas station in Dease Lake.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pe...4d-129.9895951
And here's the convenience store located at the gas station
https://www.google.com/maps/place/De...4d-129.9899238
It also lists a phone number if you want to call and check the hours.
Definetly not like the 24 hours stations in NY where I live. Hope the links work.

Ok GM, here we go.
THIS is Deek. They guy I logged MANY MANY MANY MANY thousands of miles with and overnights. He has taught me a LOT. "Deek".
.Deek said...........
The Dalton Hwy is paved. Some unpaved sections. Hard pack. Some areas slush and mud then more unpaved then paved. (Oh yeah, that sounds like fine eh?
YES he (Deek) would take his own personal bike. The one above is rented since he flew into AK.
He is not sure abt how late the fuel stops are open.
It appears by the PIX, there is snow on the ground. THAT I would not do. No other stoppers but the snow? Not for me. I need some degree of psychological comfort with traction. Hard pack. Ok. Some mud/slush....understandable. Snow? SNOW?? Again -->
I know MonoGeezer would do it bcs he IS. 
Can't catch me. Peeeeeooooooowwwwww...........

Sorry guys but the link I posted doesn't seem to be working right.
Maybe this one will work.

Looks like the gas station is only open from 10AM to 6PM. Getting a room & fuel was a good reason to get off the road early.

Thanks BC, good info, seems to coincide with what I see from others. I believe it's quite doable for me but it will depend on weather, I certainly won't take off for that sign if there's rain. Are you sure there's actually snow in that photo? It looks more to me like it's just a cloudy image.

I can ask him if u like. I think in the 1st PIX. I questioned it too so I looked closely and I am sure I say tire tracks in the snow. And another indication whatever it was of the same kind.
Yeah, I just looked again. Look at his tires. They seem to be in snow tracks. As well, look into the trees, the ground around the trees. It appears to be snow. I have not been wrong so far this year so I hope this is not my 1st.
But here is the "whose been wrong and how many times" log below.
CandianRocky: 18,431
14GP: 2 times. Both due to bad links he LOVES to post.
GM: -4 <-- Yeah he has a credit of 4. Pretty good.
IronAss: Eleven-teen.
We are not sure what eleven-teen is, but it is IA, so it could really be anything. 
Can't catch me. Peeeeeooooooowwwwww........... 
I forgot b55, sorry.b55: -6 <-- That is a credit of 6. One per each letter in the word Alaska.
Hey, I don't write the rules. 
Peeeeoooowww.......
