    Even if you leave alone you will not be lonely, there are so many folks riding up there that time of year you will surely cross paths and ride with someone at least part of the way, unless you prefer not to of course...:D
    Good times as it was on my bucket list and I did it last year in June. WOW! Want to go back again SOON! Enjoy your ride!

    I too am leaving for Alaska on July 3rd, solo, but from Boise, ID. Will be crossing the border at Roosville in Montana. Sounds like we will be traveling to Alaska on different sides of British Columbia. My wife and daughter will meet me in Anchorage around the 20th for a week of sightseeing. Will be a welcome break during the journey. :clap

    Hope to see you along the road

    Thanks for following along, lots of friends and family in Anchorage, I wonder if your kids know Kaladi Brothers Coffee, a life long friends coffee place in Anchorage, the Coffee is so good, it may be one of the things that keeps me driving that direction!!!

    I completed the trip to Alaska, and the blog has been updated!

    It was a great time I was happy to have everything I needed and not much I did not use.

    Sites were amazing and the experience was/is un-forgettable

    Now looking to the next adventure

    Updates hear
