Arrived in Alaska on the 12th of Sept (right in there anyway) and did not see one mosquito and very few RV's (besides caravan, that actually had a pilot van leading the way, newbies or something?). Yes, saw some snowflakes one morning...but for the most part it was either exceptionally...

Victoria taking a well deserved breather. And l needed to stretch my legs some. The seats in a 1990 vehicle leave a lot to be desired. But, she's been chugging right along. Didn't have much windshield time in her after dropping new/used engine in. I'd driven to Alabama to get engine and...

Left Talkeetna after the second day, rained hard all night. Headed back towards highway 3, stopped at the Speedway for fuel and coffee, then at Cubby's IGA market for provisions, both right at the intersection. Headed south on #3 towards Anchorage. Skies were starting to clear, hurray...

My only advice...don't wait, and make it happen while you still can. For me, plans were to do this in 2020, then covid came to America, then border closed, then a health issue, then diagnosis and treatment, then the battle to get Victoria running again/different engine and build sleeping...

^^^My arthritis feels better just looking at that picture^^^

The last things bought were all fuels; diesel, propane and food. And l hope these aren't the "last things" l'll buy...believe a better title would be..."what is your most recent purchase"...that way...don't have to quit buying after posting in this topic...lol

My cousin from Ontario had texted me about a spot in Talkeetna that has a great southern view of Denila...so, with overcast skies and raindrops falling...we motored south. Coming into Talkeetna, a little float plane business. Downtown Talkeetna. Train depot. Had to get a burger...

Got an early start, breaking camp and heading up Park road...to Denila area! Rainy and overcast. Didn't look very promising. You don't go to far and you come to a bridge that has a guard shack on the other side. Stop, and the park ranger says that only tour buses are allow past this...

Break "camp" early, find a 24hr gas station (which folks, you will look long and hard for these in Canada) and grab a couple coffees and roll...to Denila. Skies were clearing, was an absolutely beautiful day. Especially, one for finding Denila! Mr. Moose. Arrive at Denila National...

Hello, Started a topic/thread in the wrong forum...could it be moved please. The threads is titled..."Alaska". It's in "Full Time & Long Term Overland Travel" and l'd like it in "Overland Trips Now or Then". Thank you, Brian.

Mack Lake, Michigan (rough camping at Three Lakes)

Atlanta State Forest Area, Michigan, rough camping (don't know name of lake).

Muskallonge State Park, Michigan (UP). What breakfast looks like, when my wife is along for the trip.

Got back to Fairbanks and a car wash was in order. Sitting in a parking lot searching for a car wash and looked up to see a Defender 110 parked next to me. Nice couple from VA driving the Dalton the next day. Kind of wish l would have asked them if l could tag along, would have been cool to...

Driving the Dalton hwy to arctic circle. Rained hard all night and was still sprinkling when l left Fairbanks. The valleys were so vast, running on out of sight for as far as the eye could see. The Dalton is mostly gravel after you move north out of Fairbanks a few miles. Heavy...

Camped at Tok, Alaska. Nice little villiage with an bush pilot airport nextdoor to campground. Spent two days here. Drove the 'Top of the World' the second day. The drive was so-so, mostly pathed until you got to the villiage of Chicken, then gravel. Heavier than normal traffic, hunting...

Heading north out of Haines Junction to US border crossing and Tok, Alaska. Kluane lake, Destruction Bay, BC.

South of Haines Junction. Dezadeash river(?), in Haines Junction.

In Watsons Lake, BC...they have a mile post collection of items that travelers leave. Haines Junction, BC. Really liked this little blip on the map village.

Plenty of critters/wildlife along the roadside, seems the freshly cut grass brought them out to feast. So, watch your speed and drive carefully. Black bear. Bison. Liard river again, north of Lower Post, BC. Roadside lunch...peaceful and serene as the only sound was the rushing...
