I drove the Alcan when I graduate from college - ten years ago. I didn't do it solo, I had a friend fly up from California and drive down with me. She has a AAA map that we followed, but I have to admit that I don't remember much of the specific route. I do remember that I was paranoid about running out of gas and not being able to find a gas station, so we carried extra gas with us. But, we never ran out. Our original goal was to camp along the way, but after the first night of camping, my friend the Princess was ready to start staying in hotels. So, we did.
It's a beautiful trip and definitely gives you something to talk about later. I would recommend it!
Here's a link to a blog post I did about Alaska recently, including pictures that I borrowed from the web.
