[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 2963129, member: 22760"] You are soooo right, the Salmon Glacier outside of Hyder. On our first trip in 2010 we took the Cassier Hwy instead of the Alaska Hwy to go to Hyder. The road to the glacier is about 20 miles up a very very dusty road. we stayed at Camp Run a muck in town(small town lol) We took the Dalton Hwy to the Arctic Circle and spent the night there. I had a full tank of gas and I also took an extra 5 gallon can with me from a church I was staying at in Fairbanks and lucky I did, because the hwy is up and down , hilly etc, my gas mileage suffered. I usually get 13-14 mpg with my 34 gallon tank, on my way back my gas light came on, and I limped into Fox which is about 10 miles North of Fairbanks. There is a truck stop just over the Yukon River where truckers sleep and stuff, cant remember if they sold gas, but then again I thought I had plenty. needles to say my RV came back a mess. LOL I saw guys on m/c's on the way up. I would slow down and pull over when I saw a trucker coming at me and most slowed down as to not kick up rocks, I put some screen door screening in front of my radiator as a precaution, and rented a SAT phone for that trip, enjoy the pics below[ATTACH=full]145191[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145192[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]145194[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145195[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]145196[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
