Thanks for sharing.

That was shot with my little Fuji S1800 point-and-shoot! That was typical winter traffic – nobody for many miles, perhaps 6-8 vehicles in the 67 miles between Skagway and Carcross, then it’s a bit heavier from there to Whitehorse. With the great new tire treads and compounds, not many people run studs anymore.

Great Video What camera did you use ? Is traffic always that light in the winter ? I would love to drive that road in the winter. Do you run studded tires ?

Thanks for all of your comments

Rejeana – although I haven’t personally seen anything, I’ve read enough reports and seen enough photos and videos to think that there may be a few Sasquatch out there in the mountains. There are many places that have never had a human foot on them – even airplanes get lost forever in that wilderness. I like the idea that such places exist, and that such creatures may exist.

In all your exploring the wilderness areas of Canada and Alaska, have you ever come across anything to make you think that Sasquatch exists?

As I watched the video, I was thinking, “How on earth did you keep both the car and the camera so steady!!” and I was envisaging some way of having a headband for the camera! Blow me down – you did. Shows how behind with technology I am! Now I come to think of it, I’m sure climbers and speliologists, and as you mentioned at the end, scuba divers, have had this sort of thing for ages – it’s just that hanging off mountains, crawling through caves and exploring the ocean bed don’t exactly feature in my comfort zone these days! Amazing photos; another thing I find impossible to imagine is the depth of freezing cold you survive under – and how you manage to keep your vehicle running at 26 or 40 below!
