 After traveling 3 days from home, our adventure started when we boarded the Alaska Marine ferry MV Kennicott,in Bellingham,Wa.

5 nights to Whitter,a week in the Kenai area, 9 days in Denali than 1 week back to Juneau,than boarded the MV Columbia back to Bellingham,Wa.than 3 days home down the coast route.

3,000 miles on the ferry's,

4.300 miles driving,

264 gal gas,

16 mpg

8 nights on the ferry,1 night at a friends house.

31 camping days

26 straight in the camper.

42 days total,WOW.

 

We had a lot of rain/showers but didn't stop us from getting out.

Glaciers all over the place,green trees,something us Californians don't usually see.

Daneli had a lot of people,mostly from the cruise tours.

Lots of animals but the bears and Dall sheep were not very close.

Moose all over the place so big they looked like Clydesdale's with antlers.

We met so many nice and interesting people.The Alaskans were so welcoming and actually

thanked us for visiting.

In Delta Junction we saw the Northern Lights,awesome.

 

Great bakeries/food along the way.

And good planing ans organizing made a trip this long work without any problems.

 

Hope you enjoy the many parts of the blog.

Probably me. Thanks for viewing. Hope you enjoy.
