Reaching Delta Jct is a milestone on the Alaskan caravan because its the official end of the Alaskan Highway. From now on , to Fairbanks, we would be on the Richardson Highway. This is one of the oldest roads/ trails in Alaska, it joins Fairbanks and the deep water port of Valdez. Valdez is also the southern terminus of the oil pipeline. So upon reaching Delta Jct we had completed 1422 miles of Alaskan Highway plus a 700 mile( round trip) “side” trip to Dawson City, YT.

One of the interesting spots in Delta Jct was the Sullivan Roadhouse. It is now a museum but it served as a spot for warmth, lodging and food for travelers from before 1900 to well into the 1920’s.
