The AC'12 convoy left the Alaska Highway at
Watson Lake, Yukon Territory. They are now traveling the Campbell Highway. Have no fear, they will come back via the Alaska Highway. This route will take them to the Dempster Highway (where they will go up to the Arctic Circle) and to
Dawson City. The planned stop for Day 5 is at
Ross River.

Until they get to
Dawson City, they will be pretty much be without cell or internet. We will track their progress via SPOT (as long as they remember to turn it on!) Here is a SPOT image of a piece of today's travel:

I believe the brown areas are one of three things: wild fire, logging then burning, or beetle kill. The imagery is not high enough resolution. Riparian (creeks, drainages) are still green which could happen with all three of these events. I don't see typical signs of logging such as slash piles/rows, skidding, yarding areas, temp roads, etc. My opinion is that it is from wild fire.
