This Sunday, June 25, 2017, Jeri and I (and Sugar Belle) will hook up our travel trailer and head out on a trip of a lifetime, going to Illinois to see family and check on our farm crops, then West to Colorado to visit family and spend the 4th of July. On July 6th we will point our rig north and travel through Wyoming and Montana to Sweetgrass, MT, where we will cross the border into Alberta, Canada and continue north and west through Alberta and British Columbia to Dawson Creek, BC. There we will start at Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway (formerly the Alcan Highway) and pass through the Yukon Territory, ending up about 1,400 miles later at the terminus of the Alaska Highway in Delta Junction, Alaska.
From there we will travel to Fairbanks and we may do a long day trip up to the Arctic Circle (not 100% sure on that one yet, though). After Fairbanks we will head south down the Parks Highway and visit Denali National Park, then Talkeetna (our jumping off place several years ago when we climbed Denali). While there we plan to do a flight seeing trip around Denali. After Talkeetna we will head south to Anchorage, Seward, Homer, Valdez and then back up to Tok to take the Alaska Highway back into Canada.
Prior to arriving back in Watson Lake, YT, we will jump off the Alaska Highway and head south on the Cassiar Highway, eventually coming back into the USA near Oroville, Washington. Then south and east to Idaho, Utah, SW Colorado and New Mexico and eventually getting on I-10 and getting back home.
I hope to update this post regularly with text, pictures and even a few videos as we travel on this awesome adventure, so I hope you come along for the ride. See you on the road.
