I forgot the spell check
Ken, Janet Tuga, and Karen. if you buy one piece of clothing and that alone, be sure to buy a mesquito jacket. It will be well worth the few bucks. Ours are hooded lightweight jackets with a sort of fishnetting on the under side of the arms for coolness, and across the face of the hood. It will make being outdoors at dusk 10:30pm to 2am that much more enjoyable.
In 2002, heading to Yellowknife NWT, we stopped for the night at the 60th parrellel provincial campground at the Alberta/NWT border, Max our oldest standard schnauzer was only 4 months old and he ran wildly back to the coach trying to outrun the mesquitoes.
Another item that is a must, is a portable Dust Buster. They are extremely efficient and a great way of vaccuuming up pesky mesquitoes that get in the coach, and you don't have to smash them on the ultrasuede ceiling to get rid of them......Suck 'em up,Scotty!!
Great suggestions Jim, the Dust Buster idea is slick!
Are the mosquito jackets water proof?
I have heard that Muskol is a great deterent for mosquitos. We plan to buy some as soon as we get into Canada.
I was checking diesel prices last night: Flying J in Calgary was about $3.48 and in Anchorage $4.00 (no Flying J it was some other brand). That was about what I planned. Hope prices don't go crazy like a few years ago.
Anther suggestion, don't where dark clothiing, mesquitoes are attracted to them. And, don't eat bananas, because our bodies process the banana oil in a way that makes us extremely attractive and tasty to those mosquitoes. And they are the size of gliders1;):eek:

Looking good guys and gals, you all seem to look younger than remembered. Maybe it's the good Canadian air.
Did you have any trouble getting all your guns through customs:eek: :D
Keep the views coming, some of us will never go.
JIM:p
Your really styling!!! Has Tuga and Karen run out of rice and beans yet?
Hey guys and gals
Enjoy the trip for all of us that could not make the trip. Keep the pictures coming. I sure wish we were there.
We were in Alaska last summer visiting (not with the bus). My cell phone with AT&T worked most all of the time. Remember guys, we have alot of friends in Homer and some have Prevosts, also. Let us hear from you if you need help while in that area. Safe travels and God be with you!!
Sandy
