our Yukon trip for a couple of weeks now and most chores are caught up and I have started processing a picture or two.

On the second day of our trip north we arrived in Dawson Creek, BC and checked into the MILE 0 campground. It looked like it had been taking over by the Military. A convoy of 90+ vehicles, mostly American but some Canadian as well were traveling up the Alaska Highway in honour of the building of the highway 70 years ago. All vehicles I was told are privately owned, restored and maintained. This was their assembly point and they had another few days to get ready. (and party just a little bit) Here are a few pictures:

Very cool Heinrich. I wonder if this was the same convoy Bob caught down south. Looks like a good start to the trip.

A very nice set of pics. Lot of work in those restorations.

Hi Dave and thank you, the one that Bob saw was at least a week behind this one and was much smaller. There was another smaller one ahead of this one but I never got to se it.

Take care,

Thank you and you are not kidding plus the ongoing maintenance and parts scrounging.

You know Heinrich, you're just a damn fine shooter! Those are great shots, couldn't be better...and they are also interesting, which makes them even better! Enjoy every minute of your trip...and let us enjoy it with you!
Regards!

Glad you got to meet up with the convoy Heinrich, quite a group of dedicated people aren't they. Great pics, I guess they will all meet up further north to start the major convoy. Welcome Back and looking forward to your adventure photos. Here is a link to the convoy I met up with.https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/195312-travel-bivouackin...s-montana.html

Hi Rupert and thank you. We had a wonderful trip, the weather didn't always cooperate but such is life.

Take care,

Thank you Bob. When we met them in Dawson Creek that was the final assembly point. At that time from what I was told, they were down to 92 units. Man that was a dedicated bunch, the morning we left I met a gentleman at the wash house and he did look cold. Turns out that he slept under the stars in a "zero" rated sleeping bag. I explained to him that to sleep outside in just above freezing temps you want at least a -20 bag. He was going shopping. You and I have similar shots of the same vehicles. some more of mine are here: Dawson Creek-Alaska Highway-Mile 0 Photo Gallery by Heinrich Lohmann at pbase.com

Take care,

Thank you and no, no Hummer's. This was a convoy of original '42 or thereabouts equipment.

Take care,
