Marty and I, have made that trip more times than one should count. We will be happy to share what we can on the Alaska the Last Frontier, North to Alaska or (fondly) the Al - Can Highway.

How much beer does it cost to peek at those notes...?

Re: Anyone for Alaska in 2017???

Sorry Sarge but I didn't take many notes. They discussed campgrounds and what to expected or not to expect, power and amps, most of the roads conditions, grocery shopping (surprisingly Walmarts), gas or diesel stations and how far between. Also suggestions on books like Milepost and Camping in Alaska.

Well - 5 more days until we pull out of TN to head north. Still packing the Silver Bullet but have to run to the dealership because the anderson valve to fill the fresh water tank is stuck - RRRRR. Glad we found it yesterday instead of on the road somewhere. Will post progress as we travel.

What's your route going up? We're currently at Chatfield State Park in Littleton CO visiting family. We leave here Friday, weather permitting (forecast is for 5-8" snow Thursday night in the front range) and head for OR & WA with a June 12 expected crossing into BC at Sumas. I also got good advice from Lyle at the LA rally.

You are just west down the road (C-470) from where I work . . .

Re: Anyone for Alaska in 2017???

Hmmm Do you have a snow shovel I can borrow?? Seriously, how far from the Wadsworth Exit?

We have plenty of snow shovels in our garage at home . . .

I work at roughly I-25 & C-470 (right across County Line Rd. from the Ikea store.

I have to teach a Canon DSLR class tonight at 6:30 p.m. if you are interested.

It's the middle of May and you need a snow shovel in Colorado and you are heading to Alaska, no telling what you will run into there. You had better get John to sell you one of his, or better yet get one of those gasoline powered snow blowers to take with you. Hope you and Donna have a great trip, post lots of pictures, it may be the only way this old Geezer gets to see it.

Thanks Lyle, my first picture, that is almost breath taking, you don't see anything like that in Central Texas. Guess I will have to print all the pictures that are posted and put them in a binder, and that will serve as my trip to Alaska.

We will miss you in Goshen but have a safe and wonderful journey to Alaska. We'll want to hear all about it and see pictures in Marathon. Bon voyage! That is one of our dreams as well.

We are taking over a week heading up I-75 with several stops before entering Canada at Sault Ste Marie. From there we are taking over 10 days to get to Calgary before heading into Banff and the Canadian Rockies up to Grande Prairie. From there it's the usual route into Alaska. Right now our plans are not to enter the states in Washington until August 3rd.
