Thanks, Dan... I presume it brought back some memories
The signpost forest in Watson Lake , Yukon is right along the Alcan and
started when the road was being built...
It extended well beyond the width of my frame and growscontinually.
I'ts on the west side of the town, at the
junction with the Campbell highway (which is not a highway in any sense
most of us know, but it does take you
up to intersect with the Klondike HIghway and Dawson and ferry across
the Yukon to the Top of the World Highway...
To quote my 1992 MILEPOST it"was started by Carl K Lindley of Danville,
Il a US arm soldier in company D, 341st Engineers, working on the
construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942". He was scheduled to
visitWatson Lakein 1992 atthe 50th Anniversary of the highway.
Took this in 1989 - the 1992 Milepost said there were 13,000 signs and
people travelling the Alcan bring more.
That's my sweetheart observing them for scale in the photo
The farthest west wegot in Alaska proper was the Homer Spit...
I think about Blurbing - but maybe another calendar of the just
funkier, quirky stufffirst

That is a superior gallery, Ann!
Great wilderness landscapes; nice close-ups of flora and fauna;
effective lifestyle views; a great portrait of a great region of our
country.
I was especially drawn in by the image with th listing telephone poles
and quite amused by the mass of signage.
Fine jog overall.

Darren - the area around THE mountain in the park is all tundra- scruffy low
lying vegetation
and a lot of gravel and mud... but along the georgepark between denali and
Anchorage there
is pretty fall stuff - and south of Anchorage as well..
To Stan's excellent suggestions I will emphasize again purchasing The
Milepostasap - it
is invaluableand better than most stuff on the web I think.
Thanks to everyone who bought the calendar, btw - the order is in...
