in all seasons trucks from dawson creek could travel traight through to whitehorse.intervals of about 100 miles there were relay stakes where the trucks were checked over and efueled. especial in the pioneering days most of the fuel used on the highway was in dawson creek brought up to skagway. but with the completion of the project with its refinery and network of pipelines, the alaska highway had its own fueling system. oil from norman wells refined at whitehorse and gasoline went to all points in the highway from atson lake to fairbanks. by october, 1943, there was only one gap left in the highway. it was just east of the alaska-yukon border. on the 13th of october, the remaining gap was only a few hundred feet. there were two crews working toward each other. in this section there was permanent ground frost. that meant the ground stayed frozen down to the depth of 50 feet or 60 feet. the ground would quickly thaw and become a quagmire. so the contactors use a road building technique peculiar to the north. rock fill and gravel were spilled out on the ground and car
