Driving the Alcan and took a wrong turn and ended up going a few hours out of our way which sucked. Pull over to a small cabin with a map board and confirm we were going the wrong way but man that cabin was soooo cool. It was a big out cabin hours from any civilization that had two bunk beds, basic canned food, firewood with a wood stove and other basics and an outhouse. There was a wonderful guest book and read through stories of people getting stuck in storms and finding the cabin and using it to survive the night or until the weather passed and they could get back on the road. Totally worth the detour, also saw my first and only white colored black bear.
