In 1980 the author rode a muddy, moody, melancholy loop up the half-gravel Alaska Highway, around Fairbanks, Seward and Dawson, and down the unpaved Stewart-Cassiar Highway. The ride covered about 5500 miles / 8900 km. 1700 miles / 2800 km were unpaved. In 1980 the author captured it on Ektachrome. In 2014 he looked up, where possible, what the same places look like a generation later and used Google Streetview to make side-by-side “whatever happened to” comparisons
