This article inspired me to browse Google Maps around the area. Surprisingly I found this US/Canada border crossing that is completely unguarded: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dawson,+YT,+Canada/@62.6150141,-141.0008213,3a,75y,174.12h,75.89t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s421FPv4qhRXmE2YBKnq-DQ!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x5148e3cbd4f5b5b7:0x4a8d7ab95cad1ffd https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dawson,+YT,+Canada/@62.615... Literally just signs by the side of the road. Even the Top of the World Highway has a Customs inspection shack (which is farther north and seemingly more remote).

Imagine getting a flat tire in that spot and not having a spare..

  Related: I worked as a geologist in the area and our helicopter ran out of fuel while doing some recon far from civilisation. Imagine our surprise when we spotted a 4x4 with a fuel tank below us, out in the middle of nowhere (more or less). We landed on the dirt road next to the truck, fuelled up enough to get back to the base and had a good laugh + beer to end the day.

Oh contraire, mon frere... the US inspection station is just down the road about 300 yards: https://www.google.com/maps/@62.6195443,-141.0060633,3a,75y,97.67t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sMzqjlCvL8Ca11vFx3iB2oA!2e0 https://www.google.com/maps/@62.6195443,-141.0060633,3a,75y,...
