Anyone have advice on where to buy diesel, Canadian or US side of TOW highway? Last fillup was Whitehorse. If I filled here in Dawson I could most likely make Tok with a 300 mile range reserve. Trying to convert liters to USgal prices are driving me nuts.
Finally the weather is supposed to warm up this weekend. We are thinking of a dry camp instead of Chicken between here & Tok.

Great to hear that you are all on your way. We have been here for 10 days. Ride up was OK except for Whitehorse to TOK 30-45 mph for alot of it. Stopped in Skagway and then into TOK and Anchorage. Shipcreek CG RV park was the best they had. Kind of in the rail yard. but it was better than our dry camp night at Fred Meyer lot. Onto Seward for 2 days, Cold and rainy but what a neat town. Will go back for Park Tour Boat next week. Everything is just thawing out here. Ice just came off of many of the lakes. presently in Seldotna. No Kings yet.
We are in Klondike RV park in Soldotna. Great park not your typical Alaska RV park. More like the lower 48 nicer places. Full hook-ups 50 amp wifi, no cable. clean gravel wide and very seperated lots. Low $30s. The only thing is we are the only rig here. Where is everyone?

Well, we finally arrived in Moose Pass (28 miles north of Seward) and are ready for our summer of workamping at the Spruce Moose Chalets. If you drive through Moose Pass headed toward Seward the chalets are on the hill to the west of Upper Trail Lake. There is a sign. We hope to get over to your area sometime this summer, fullmoonoversalem. We didn't have very good internet all the way up here so we couldn't post our progress, but we passed through Watson Lake the same day as you, Veebyes (I think).
As far as buying diesel you usually do better on the US side. Tok was about $4.60/gal. I would guess that Dawson will be about $6.50-$7.00/gal (about $1.65-$1.75/L). Chicken will be somewhere inbetween if the price ratio is like last year.
I love ALaska!!!

Nomorbills, wonder if we were in same park at Watson & did not know it. We were at Downtown RV behind the market.
Just got an email from my neighbor in Bermuda. He owns a gas station there. Gas is $7.72US/Gal or $2.04Lit. Diesel is $7.45US/gal or $1.97lit. Small consolation, but even these prices are not as high as Britain. Of course in Britian RVers are not driving around in 10mpg 1 ton trucks or 40' motorhomes so their actual fuel costs are most likely close to being the same per mile.
In Bermuda I drive a 35mpg car or a 100mpg bike.
