    Nabo's Adventure to Alaska 2017

    We have reservations in Fairbanks at River's Edge starting Tuesday. It's rained in Dawson City most of the weekend. Kind of reminds me of the scene in Paint Your Wagon when it rained for days and half the town collapsed into the tunnels, except we're still above ground last I checked. Sent...

    Thanks for the TOW report! We're leaving Carmacks for DC this morning. Planning to head for the border Monday morning. Your average speed was about what I was expecting. Glad I put on the heavy duty shackles and wet bolts this spring! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the info! Ordinarily, we would have taken your advice to drive WH to D.C. In one day. Sunday, we ran into a Foretravel MH caravan in Dawson Creek headed to WH and D.C. Then, ran into a Newmar caravan in WH. Both are headed to Dawson City today for two days. Since we didn't have...

    Hwy 89/2 Piegan/Carway Border Crossing US/CA

    We just came across into Canada at Abbotsford. There's much confusion about allowed food products, including meat. Poultry, fresh fruit & vegetables are of particular concern to Canada currently and we consumed these before crossing. We had frozen steaks and porkchops still in their original...

    Great pics and info, as usual. We've gotten glimpses of two grizzlies but can't seem to get a pic. We made it to Whitehorse today. We may take 2 days going to Dawson City...1 long day or 2 short ones. [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm sorry about your trouble. Wish we were closer so we could help, but not sure what help we'd be. Sounds like you have a plan to get going again. Our plan today is to go from DC to Fort Nelson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'd heard of the sign forest, but we didn't bring one either. My sister and BIL live in Spartanburg! :-). We're in Dawson Creek until Saturday. We saw a moose and 2 black bear yesterday. Keep leaving tracks for us! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That's the route we plan to take on our return, except we'll take 16 back to Prince George and Jasper/Banff to Glacier NP. We're signed up for the Montana HOC rally the weekend after Labor Day. Lots to see!! Love the wildlife you got to see today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We came across the border at Abbotsford BC and took TransCanada Hwy 1 to Cache Creek the first day, then up 97, the Cariboo Connector, to Prince George. Good highways. 97 to PG had some upgraded 4-lane sections. Several decent campgrounds around PG. Ours has the basics, full hookups but only...

    Sailun tires--simple tire

    Not all Discount Tire stores. I checked at a Discount Tire store in McAllen TX in Jan. They said they didn't carry Sailun tires and couldn't order them. I was surprised that they said they couldn't even order them. That's like saying "we don't need your money." That's when I ordered from...

    RV Park Recommendations Near/In Denver, CO

    It's a daily fee, varying from $7 to $9, depending on the park. Since we have family in the area and are in the area two or three weeks a year, we just buy the annual pass that saves us a few dollars. It's also good for entering any CO state park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RV Park Recommendations Near/In Denver, CO

    We've stayed at both Cherry Creek and Chatfield State Parks. They do have the daily park fee in addition to the RV site fee, but they have nice pull-through sites with 50A full hookups. Even with the entry fee, they're cheaper than anything else you'll find in the area and most of the sites are...

    Sailun Tires imported by the same company as Towmax Tires

    I had a 2011 Big Country (built in 2010) that came with Sailun S637 14 ply tires. That's at least a 7 year track record for the Sailuns. I had no problem with them. My current coach came with Goodyear 614's. When the Goodyears reached an age of 5 years after manufacture, I had zero qualms about...

    Well thanks! We might just take you up on that, you never know! Our plans on the Kenai are pretty flexible. Was banking on staying in a campground in Soldotna a few nights, but found it was not available due to the salmon run. Only thing fixed at this point is Denali NP area around July 4th...
