From Northern Canada to Fairbanks watch for moose on or near the road. They are unpredictable and are just as likely to run towards you as away from you.
Unless you take the ferry from Bellinghan, Washington to Valdez, Alaska, you will need to pass through CUSTOMS. Canadian customs can require you to have vehicle registration, proof of insurance, birth certificate, and enough cash to cover your expenses while in the country. Also, handguns are not allowed in the country. NOTE: Vehicle and personal searches are a possiblilty.
With the current difference between the Canadian Dollar and the US dollar, it may be worth while exchanging currency at a Canadian bank. This prevents exchange rate discussions when filling the scooter with petrol.
Watch out for the newly painted roads - they're slick. Have a safe trip and we will be looking foward to meeting one and all.
