Driving the TOP OF THE WORLD highway in Alaska (EP 28 – World Tour)



→ Join us on our daily adventures on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nextmeridian.expedition/

Finally! After days on the road we are at the gates of Alaska. We sadly said goodbye to Tom and Jerry (see previous episode) but are still travelling with @Eva zu Beck. Together we leave Dawson city, Yukon Canada and take the Top of the World highway. This is the road that is going to lead us to the Little Gold Creek Border control. The northernmost land border crossing of the USA. That same crossing that will close in just a few hours before our arrival until end of spring next year. The border crossing, the first impressions of Alaska, our preparation for the drive to the northermost drivable point in the region. It is all in this week’s episode. Next week we will bring you with us to Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay on the Dalton Highway. To be sure you do not miss what is coming up next, subscribe to the channel! See you next week. Until then, take care.

    I used to watch Eva’s videos, but they became overalls dramatic. Please don’t become like her. 😂

    This brings back a lot of memories. I did that drive in the early 90’s in my old beat up camper van. Went through Chicken, Tok and Dawson City. Met my wife there and we’re still together almost 30 years later. My wife even had the same hair style as Mathilde back then.
    Thanks for posting, makes me want to go back.

    NM.E + Eva, I guess I was a bit ahead of your trip in leaving my comment back on Ep 27 about Chicken. Here, now that you've crossed the border, is one about the town of Tok, which, no doubt, seems like an odd name. Here's the story: first syllable of “Tokyo”, as in Tokyo Camp–one of the construction camps during the building of the AK Hwy. during WW2 which became a town, located at Milepost 1314/2114km. of Alaska Hwy. It was so isolated back in those days that the workers would have had no place to spend their nights. Thus, the camps were built as the work progressed.
    Little known and less important fact: First Nation is the politically correct term for Indians and Eskimos in Canada; in the US, it's Native American, while in Alaska, they use the special term Native Alaskan.
    One more thing: have you ever heard of something most drivers to the North consider indispensable? It's called Milepost. They have absolutely every highway in Alaska, Yukon, NWT, plus the roads up to the North country from the Western states of the US in detail.

    That's Land Rover, love them, don't love them but if you love 'em you'd need a decent set of tools as you will use them fairly often. But they're still great overland vehicles.

    Merci pour une autre superbe video. I use to live in Sun Valley Idaho 27 years ago, and I have to say that I love the north western part of the US. Growing up near the Vosges, Cornouaille, Black Forest and Massif Central gave me a sense of wanting to be in the wild. So now I live in South Florida where we are getting hit by hurricane 🌀 Ian. ADONAI has a funny sense of humor! 😅 Bon voyage 👋
