Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus
So the “wall” between Canada’s Yukon Territory and Alaska is a 20 feet cleared line of trees that extends for miles. I’m not sure how we keep all of those undesirable Canadians out of Alaska, but it seems to work. Here are some pictures: Immigration was a few miles down Read more…
On the way to Beaver Creek we stopped and looked at one of the original bridges that the US Army built back in the 1940’s: Obviously this bridge wasn’t built with the Busse Bus in mind! Glad that it was rebuilt nearby with concrete. We also stopped to stretch our Read more…
Whitehorse, of course. The capitol was actually moved here in the 1950’s from Dawson City after the Alaska Highway was completed. Beautiful town on a river that has been dammed to create a lake. It has a large “seaplane” airport off the lake. When they dammed up the river to Read more…
Pulled into Watson Lake, Yukon Territories (YT) and had to stop to see the signs. People have been posting all kinds of signs here for years. The sign forest goes on and on: I was only able to snap a few pics from various angles. Truly amazing on the Read more…

Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada starts the Alaskan Highway which was constructed in 1942 by the United States Military to create a passage into Alaska in case the Japanese invaded North America. The entire 2450 Kilometer road was completed in just eight months – an outstanding achievement! Dawson Creek itself grow Read more…
After a late night at the Calgary Stampede we got a very late start and had to drive up to Edmonton for the night. Pulled into the beautiful, Good Sam approved, campground called the Kinsmen RV Park in St. Alberts just northwest of Edmonton. The site was so nice that Read more…
The 50th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede – is called the greatest outdoor show on earth. It is a huge county fair on steroids western style. Food, games, stages, exhibits, and races. We witnessed “chuck wagon” races. I know it sounds very foreign to us, but the winner takes home Read more…
