HotRodGuy Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hello, my names Scott and have been a reader of this magazine for a few years. I'm about to finish school in 2 weeks and am looking at a good road trip to wind me down for a week or two. I'm thinking Alaska, i've driven through the majority of our country and figure this may be one of the only chances I have to get that far North. I'm looking for any info possible some of you may have. Thanks in Advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Scott, Are you planning on driving all the way? or do you want to travel the inland passage (you can go on the ferry from Seattle up to Alaska -- I've talked with folks that have taken their tents and "camped" on the decks of the ferry! There are some different options depending upon what you want to do. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beckyrepp Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi Scott, Very cool! Be sure to take pics and write us a letter for AR. Check out this site - http://www.northtoalaska.com/Map.aspx - it might be helpful for planning your trip. I'm sad to say I've not driven all the way there, myself. However, I've been to Ketchikan (just did an article on it in the Summer 06 issue of AR - if your planning on stopping there - you might want to check it out). If you're planning on stopping in Ketchikan I can send you some additional links that might be useful to you.
