If you want to know where some more of North America's worst roads are, just take 283 west out of The Pas to Prince Albert!!!  3 hours of gravel with ice and probably only saw 10 vehicles pass - out in the middle of nowhere - made us remember the Alcan!!  We left The Pas at 12:30 and got here at 5 - stopped at a Travelodge for the nite and have had trouble ever since - no hot tub, no continental breakfast, the only non-smoking close to where we could park was a "suite" for $160 which is essentially one room for the beds and one with a couch and desk - the onliest bonus is there is a tv in both rooms!  So then when we tried to plug in the truck and trailer it blew their fuse and we were about to tell them we couldn't stay if the plug in wouldn't work and they called their handy man and then it worked and then it didn't, and then we moved the truck and took up 5 of their parking spots and now it doesn't work again - so Randy had spent the last 1/2 hour out in the parking lot trying to figure out what is going on - right now we have the 2 most important things plugged in to warm - the truck engine and the generator - will give you more info in the morning!
