The first vehicle I came across on the Dempster Highway was a Yukon government truck that cam barreling toward me at what I would estimate was about 80 mph, and it shot gravel bullets at my windshield that cracked it in four places (even though I pulled over out of courtesy far to the right of the road), and also put some other minor dings on it. Great.
I've seen lots of wildlife...black bears, brown bears... I saw two grizzlies on the road, one after the other...I ended up chasing one down the road when it took off running in front of my car. I tried to video it, but my phone froze (this stupid phone freezes up several times a day and I have to restart it). Saw lots of rabbits, and something that looked like a "porcupine squirrel"...more muscular than a squirrel but with a thick coat.
I ended up finding a place to pull over after I saw the two grizzlies, I camped just a few miles from where I saw them. It was late at night and I was exhausted.
