Frost heaves - that one was a doozie!

Much of the drive from the Alaska border done alongside the Kluane was hair-raising because of frost heaves. We had been warned but never experienced anything like it - a roller coaster ride with a reverberating motion with the truck coming down as the trailer goes up! As least our truck is quiet as we rock and roll. T & F’s motor home means they hear every dish rattle as they swoop up and down. Whoever is second in line (we take turns each day) has the advantage of watching the guinea pig in front. This along with the walkie-talkies helps avoid some of the dips and driving around 60 km means most are tolerable. But occasionally you hit a doozie and it takes a few meters to calm down after. 

The picture might give you a bit of an idea. Taking pictures meant going up and down with the camera in time to catch it - the worst were hidden. When we joined the Alaska Highway again, we were thrilled to see lines painted on it. It meant the ups and downs showed up better. In the meantime, we got to know to take the little red flags on the side of the road seriously!
