Jonas,
I'm in Delta Junction, AK! Last time I checked Grand Junction was still in CO! You can either fly into Fairbanks, AK and then charter down to Chicken or into Anchorage and the same. If you come into Fairbanks, I'd recommend 40 Mile Air. They are the main flight service for the area. Chicken has a very well maintained gravel strip, I've flown in and landed there many times myself. If you're not familiar with the Alcan, I'd strongly recommend buying a Mile Post Magazine before you come, to plan your stops. Fuel and accomodations are readily available and don't believe the horror stories folks like to spin about the condition of the road. For the most part it's either paved or chip sealed, but having said that is always under construction as they improve it. I've always driven south to Charlie's corner, then down to Prince George and cross the border in Sumas. Enjoy the trip, you'll be making it in probably the preetiest time of the year. One last note, our northern neighbors are a little different concerning weapons. You can bring a long barrel rifle or shotgun with you, but no pistols. You will have to pay a fee. Our airline regulations are another matter by themselves. Best of luck,
..Brett..
