I have been to Destruction Bay. The night we were there the wind blew so hard I thought we were going to blow away. (it also rained) I was afraid our tent was going to smother me. I still consider it the worst night of me life. Although I laughed all the way through this piece, I also had a great deal of sympathy for your ordeal. We traversed in both winter and summer. Winter is definately the easiest because of the snow. They plow it into the crevases in the road and it makes it smoother.

These folks were in a big hurry to return Outside. Having traveled the hiway 19 times, it has been our experience that travelers who have these kinds of problems have been self-induced, i.e. traveling too fast. for the conditions. Advise - SLOW DOWN

In reference to the Loonie charge for the grocery cart you have it only partly right. You do have to put a Loonie in to get the cart however you failed to tell that you got the Loonie back when you returned the cart. I think its a good idea.

Did you forget to get your Loonie back when you returned your shopping cart to the store or the cart corral? It s not rent, it s a simple way to keep carts from cluttering the parking lot. And some store carts use only a quarter.

How did we escape and just exactly what did MacGyver do this time? We should let him tell that story, right? ... So where is the story?
I m no MacGyver and I m dying to hear how you tackled that problem. By the way, great story and adventure. Hope to be able to duplicate one day when my wife and I retire (and hopefully with far less incidents).

It was a joy to read the story and relive in out thoughts our trip in 2004. We were lucky we had only 1 flat tire. But had a ball.

Boy, I feel lucky we only lost one car hauler tire. And you, like us, were smart to use a hauler instead of anything else. That road is pure destruction. You can read our trip here: http://www.alaskainmydreams.com
Have fun on your other trips! Lynne

And I beg to differ with the guy from Alaska. We ve lived in Alaska 10 years and traveled that road. We went 10 to 15 mph from Tok to Destruction Bay, and it still destroyed our tire and bent up the fender of our car hauler. But at least our RV was purring along. It was the only thing we were sure about on that trip.
