July 14, MP 1244 to MP 50 Haines Highway


Had a good nights rest and woke up to sunny skies. We hit the road about 8:00 a.m. for what we knew would be a long day of bad roads. It didn’t take long for us to hit them either. We drove about 150 miles at 35 mph with a few stretches up to 45 (darn few) and many stretches slower. The frost boils just play havoc with the roads and it’s a never-ending job to fix them. They do a pretty good job of marking the worst ones with orange flags so that helps. Sandi drove for an hour or so and did a good job. This time we had the front of the Jeep covered up and it doesn’t appear that we have any headlights broken or windshield dings. Will be able to tell better tomorrow when we get it uncovered and washed. We are about 50 miles from Haines but found a nice rest area along the highway so decided to pull over for the night. We have no reservation in Haines anyway so no other place to go. Should be fairly quiet here.
