Alaska Ep 5 - Sign Post Forest - Major Trailer Issue

Well, that didn't go as planned. That could be our catchphrase of the year. From our attempted trip to Texas for the eclipse with our truck problems, to this.
Things seemed to be going well, other than the further north we went the worse the roads became. From torn up roads covered in gravel, to frost heaves, to pot holes that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Other then that, it seemed OK.
We got up to Big Creek Governmental Campground and we noticed some edging trim on the trailer was popped out and not sitting right. As we investigated further we found a major problem. Our trailer frame was cracked and starting to bend. What now...
We checked the local area and found that Watson Lake was the closest "town" to us. We headed there to empty our holding tanks as we believe that both our grey and black tanks sit behind the axle. We also removed the spare tire and put it in the bed of the truck and moved items around the inside of the trailer to make the tailer rear end as light as possible.
Since we found ourselves in Watson Lake we decided to make the most of it and visit the sign post forest, and hang up our signs we made just for this occasion. It was very impressive to see the sign post forest and to put up our signs there. What fun!
We then continued on to Whitehorse, the capitol of the Yukon, to try and find some help. I also called a cousin of mine that lives in Homer Alaska, to see if he had any suggestions or ideas. A friend of his told us to get in touch with Ron as he has helped out in difficult situations before. When we got in touch with Ron he said he did not do any welding but to get with Jacobs Industries 4269 4th Avenue Whitehorse Yukon. They not only helped out but fixed it in one day!!!
Thanks so much to Jacobs Industries for taking on our trailer issues and helping us get back on the road to Alaska!!
