Gotthard -
I have been fortunate enough to have seen this highway for a considerable distance having flown from Vancouver to Whitehorse, Yukon - via Prince George - Fort Nelson - Watson Lake many times - thankfully "flown " being the operative word - as it is very long way by road. It is still a remarkable achievement by many hundreds of men in very difficult conditions most of the time - to be able to read a newspaper by the light of the sun at 3.am. always gave me a kick - they are special people up there !
