We met Paul Gilland in Inuvik. He made the trip separately, on an old Honda motorcycle. His page has tons of photos, and is very much worth a look-see.

The following links may also come in handy:

British Columbia Tourism Centre B.C. Ferries: Includes lots of information, including schedule information for all routes.
Alaska Marine Highway System: Includes schedule and pricing information.
Yukon Tourism Yukon Web: Yup, an internet service provider in the Yukon. When you think about it, they probably need the Internet up here more than I need it in the Silicon Valley!
Whitehorse Veggie Restaurants: The World Guide to Vegetarianism page on Whitehorse. Isn't the Web wonderful???
Western Arctic tourist brochure: Shows a Vanagon Westfalia with a stone guard. It would be a good idea to consider creating one of these for your bus! (This image is courtesy of Harry Yates.)
Bell's Alaska Travel Guide: Very detailed descriptions of highways and towns in Alaska, Yukon Territories, and Northern British Columbia. Worth checking out, definitely.

The Alcan rally: The AlCan rally is a modern event based on the original concept of rallying as a grand tour, motoring adventure, and a gentleman's sport. A competitive event that requires experience, good judgement & equipment, consistency, reliability and rescourcefulness, something bus drivers are known for. Traverses North America's most remote roads and climate extremes (-58 F in the 1990 event), from Seattle to Prudhoe Bay, in winter! Perhaps next year with a few Syncros?

A plea for modem access: Another interesting editorial from RVers Online discussing modem access in RV parks.
