Tuga and Karen:
You will have so much fun. I've ridden to Alaska twice on motorcycle. It's an unbelievable trip. Debbie, Jay, and I wish for you and Ken/Janet only fun along your route.

Thanks guys - we appreciate the attention. We are in Amarillo tonight and will drive on to somewhere around Denver or C. Springs tomorrow. We're just taking it easy. We will meet Ken & Janet on June 14th in Dawson Creek.
Dan and Pete - thanks for the phone calls. We will keep you informed.
Eric - be careful on that motorcycle. Libertys offer a great deal more protection and comfort. Be safe and thanks for the well wishes!
Good hearing from you guys!

Tuga,
Rae and I are headed to Alaska in mid July in the plane for a loop thru the Yukon, Deadhorse and Anchorage. We'll have to compare the air photos with the RV ones.

Jerry,
Look forward to seeing you aerial photos. We'll take a lot of pictures and will try posting a few on the forum. Call me when you guys are in Anchorage maybe we can have a mini rally (985 381 6613). We'll be traveling with Ken & Janet and Karen's cousin Cricket & his wife Annie. It would be nice to get together and share a meal.
James,
Thanks for the websites, I'm sure they'll come in handy.
Lloyd and Andre,
That Wilson Dual antenna cell amplifier is GREAT!! Louise loves it! We are on it now with 100% on the Sprint Air Card. This is the best investment I have ever made. Love it!

Tuga,
I think you may be gone by the time we get there. We are leaving DWH on July 16 and get back on the 30th.

Jerry, you're correct. We will be leaving Anchorage on July 14th. Sorry we will miss you and Rae. Be safe and post lots of pics.

Buzz and I drove Alaska from Ocala, Florida in 2008. What a great trip.
Have a great time

Karen and I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Scott T!!!!! Scott went over the top showing us around Edmonton and giving us driving tips on the way to Dawson Creek. Anybody who is considering this trip should be sure to go thru Edmonton and visit with Scott; he is a wealth of information. We laughed and had so much fun telling RV stories and motorcycle navigation stories that we could hardly finish our meals. The hospitality was fantastic as was the new friendships that were made. We will never forget our trip to Edmonton.
