i thought this was a pretty cool video of the rockies. i've never been up to canada although i've seen similar roads in similar conditions . those 2 lane mountain roads take a while to maneuver but the scenery is nice if you drive it in the daytime.

That was beautiful Johnny.   Beautiful but very scary, even with only 4 wheels.  

Wow you sure do get to see some gorgeous places with your job.  

The road looked pretty scary in places! Beautiful scenery.

That looks like one scary ride, thanks for the vid.

WOW - I read the title and first thought is whooohooooo - we're going to have a visitor up in our neck of the woods!

If you ever have the chance to get up here Johnny......just do it.  The Dempster is not that bad until the wind starts to blow the snow and you can't see where the road is.  I could tell you some cool stories about that road.  Used to go cariboo hunting up there.  The beginning, from the Dawson City end is about 6 hours from here (Whitehorse).

We have a thing in the towns along the Dempster (few and far between) about all the women washing their clothes in Tide...........because it's too cold outtide!  lol

Thanks for sharing your post.

a ha! i knew this post would pull you out of the woodwork. ;) i love taking those 2 lane roads like that. it never gets old. i always take plenty of food, fuels and smokes on trips like that.

i've seen where you live at on the atlas. :o wow!
if i ever get up that way i'll look you up ;)

Simply beautiful scenery.  I agree with you it's nicer to drive it in the daytime.  I was scared shitless driving on a 2 lane highway in the snow in Idaho at 8:30 at night  :o

I just love it when Gayle comes out of the woodwork.    ;)

Stick around here  more, will ya lady?  

Here every day Linda, even though I don't post much.

Have to share one story about being on the Dempster - we were around Eagle Plains and there was a sign saying North Pole, 5 km.  My son was 5 yrs old then, but knew how to read that sign............how do you tell a 5 yr old that he can NOT go and visit Santa Claus?  It was somewhere around the middle of Nov. and if I remember rightly he settled for the fact that Santa was tooooo busy making toys since Christmas wasn't that far away.

Thank GOD for jake breaks :o

You sure got that right Tim.......excepting when they quit on you coming down the "Grapevine" out of California, or the "Snowqualamie" (sp) going into Seattle.

That's a whooopieeee what a ride!!!
