The Signpost Forest

[stormdog]

As I was looking at various highways in Google Earth last night, I got distracted. I followed highways north out of Vancouver toward Alaska, marveling at the vast swaths of largely uninhabited land. I zoomed in on a small town in the Yukon, at random, and switched to street view in the hope of finding the place's name. By dumb luck, in the 1,200-plus miles between BC and Alaska, I was across the street from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_Post_Forest

Leave it to me to home in like a laser on kitschy tourist stuff in the middle of the wilderness. And now, I so badly want to go visit.

It would be wonderful, if I were independently wealthy, to try bicycling the Alaska Highway.

I am *so* looking forward to a road trip in a few days!
