I believe john Hawthorne with Western Command is organizing a convoy from the lower mainland to Mile 0 that many of us intend to participate in if not the whole deal.

C'mon Harry, driving to Watson Lake and then turning around is akin to having sex without an

Are there any MLU's participating in the Alcan Hwy trip in 2012 ?

I believe there is a problem with vehicle insurance if wishing to ship into the USA from overseas before driving into Canada for the start of the trip .

Has anybody been in this situation before and were able to obtain vehicle insurance in the USA or Canada.

We are shipping from Australia and would like to land on the West coast of the USA and perhaps meet up with some of the group who are heading from the USA to Dawson Creek in Canada.

Jim, I've used Hagerty for years as the insurer for my HMVs and have always been satisfied with their service and price. I just checked their website and they offer International trip vehicle insurance as well as shipping coverage too. You might want to check them out.
Secondly, have you considered joining the Texas convoy? We're leaving Denton which is 5 hours north of Houston approximately 10 days before the start of the convoy. The Houston Shipping Channel is a major shipping area and would in all likelihood have the facilities needed to offload your vehicle whether you ship in a container or Ro/Ro.

Regards, Derek.

Hagerty's is available here in B.C. now to. Nigel Mathews es: ICBC is part of it and they sponsor car shows and such.
Why not ship to the port of Vancouver and set up camp from here?

At this stage we intend to land on the west coast and have a look around and then meet up with a group heading to Dawson Creek.

Jim, Terry Shelswell mentioned that we have one Aussie registered so far for the Alcan Convoy, are you he? Reason I ask is that if more of your compatriots are signing up you may want to hook up with them to possibly save on shipping and convoy as a unit once you're here.
