You know you're in Alaska when it's 15 degrees outside and you see a guy on a rice-burning street cycle buzzing down the road in the hopes that spring will be here soon.

 

hey now. just got home from AK. really beautiful. i didnt make it home yet, i'm in MT now... off to TX then FL then NJ then AZ.

 

You guys make me sick. I want to go soooooo bad - - - and another year is going down the tubes before I can make it. This makes year 10 that something has come up to hold up the trip. HHMMMMM.

njoverkill...was that on the highway to fairbanks? that's where it looks like anyway.

Cool pics!

 

I want to drive to Alaska one day. Made it to B.C. and ran out af money when I was in College.

 

Did the SRW handle the trip better/worse than DRW's?

 

Yes, nice picts!

What's that you're towing there?

Camper?

Why the two doors on it?

DT.

 

I've never actually driven a DRW so I don't know but the trailer is very light (about 3000#?)--all aluminum and it towed like it wasn't even there. It's a custom horse trailer from 4 star trailers in OK city. Very nice. A real nice guy on TDR bought it and had me tow it up for him.

 

E M M E R S O M E Beautiful Pictures!!!

On you trip, where did you start and how long did it take you?

Yes this is a great state! I just bought 10 acre's of recreational property up in Trapper Creek (1hr north from me). Sit's up on a ridge with a view of Mt. McKinley, Mt. Hunter and Mt. Foraker. You want to talk about a VIEW! It is stunning! So I sold my soul and bought it. I'll try to get some pics of it soon, all I have now is video.

 

started in nj to ok city, ok that was 1500 miles, then i think about 3700 to delta junction, ak, did it in exactly 7 days which comes out to ~740 miles per day.

i'll have to say my favorite day was only about 450 miles long going from yellowhead 16 up BC 37. 450 miles of dirt/gravel/badly paved roads all twisty, turned and tons of huge hills.

i took the fun route there which was going up through idaho on US 95, went through glacier national park and jasper national park which was a lot more scenic than coming home all the way on the alaska highway.
