Fort Nelson is at the 300 mile marker of the Alaskan Highway. We arrived here after driving 250 miles in moderate rain. 40 miles from here the rain stopped and skies cleared and temps rose from the upper 40’s to 65. The RV park is full with folks from the lower 48 going to Alaska.

Diesel is the most expensive thus far at $1.50 per liter or $5.68 per gallon. During the drive here, in the pouring rain, the truck started beeping and the display noted that trailer is not connected. The 5th remained mechanically connected but the cable that connects it to the truck for lighting and brakes came loose. We pulled over and tightened the connector and resumed our journey. Trailer brakes are needed to slow down while transitioning the many mountain passes.

Next stop two days at Muncho Lake. Yea! Less than 700 miles to Skagway, AK.
