  1. Thought I would post an update. We have changed the route, a little!! Due to the rain & snow in the north & north west, I checking those roads for any problems. Using AAA for suggestions The biggest change, from Victoria we will travel north/west to Port Hardy. Take a Ferry to Port Rupert. Then connect to our original route. This 10 hour Ferry ride, will save me about 3 days of driving. I have contacted a Travel Agency, Knightly Tours, the put together a Custom day by day tours for our time, about 3 weeks. I think this is going to work our great for us. I had a problem getting camp site in Jasper, BC. Looks like they have several camp sites/grounds under construction or closed for a time this summer. We are know about 6 weeks from leaving, so it is getting real. Almost every day thinking, what am I missing for this adventure!,,, More as we get closer.

  7. We are also in the planning stage to go to Alaska next year, leaving late May. Please contact us, my wife & I would love to have others travel along with your own rig. And, yes the "Milepost" is one of the first thing to get ASAP. Sometimes not the easiest to follow, but a must have. Make reversations at campgrounds soon. Some will not take a reversation until Jan 1,19, but be ready to call. We also have about 10 weeks set aside. Leaving from Southern Illinois.

  10. We are planning a trip to Alaska for around June of 2019 for about 60 to 70 days round trip. I have a MilePost book, and was looking at the Suggested route #4 to go up and a different route coming back. Would like to see if a small group of 6 or less, would like to travel together. We will be newly retired. We live in Southern Illinois, and would like to meet this year. Would not mind going with a family. We are fairly new to the TT world. We have a 24 ft TT. We are planning 3 or 4 short trips between now and then, could meet up.
