Rusty appreciate your comments.  If you stop in Winlock, you will enjoy meeting Bryan and his team.  It looks like Sagebrush or someone is helping with the images--Thank you to the monitors.  I do have more images.  I have to post in Gallery and link them over.

Linda,

Enjoyed the article immensely :) Alaskan has always been on my radar along with a couple other campers. I am intrigued by the 1/2 ton option for fuel mileage but have been told by those in the know that a 3/4 ton in a better option. Looks like you found a good way around that! Hope to hear of more adventures. I am hoping to get a truck in the next few months and then I will have to choose from several great options for a camper:) Love the pics :)

Rusty and all appreciate you reading the article.  And yes, I have my Milepost out as we speak.  It is the 75th Anniversary of the Alaskan Highway.  Looks like a great opportunity to get a sticker for my camper.

I built a truck up for a trip up the alcan in 1969 when I returned from Viet Nam.....Made it as far as Humboldt County, a degree, a wife and a business....never made it to Alaska...it's on my bucket list for sure and have spoken to many about the trip.  

 

Consider a partial alcan and a partial ferry trip from Bellingham or Seattle...alot easier on your truck and you get different perspectives as well. (it's not a smooth ride as you might expect)

 

A trip done by a WTW member was posted a bit ago...very well done...but alas, I don't have the link

 

you're definitely in the right camper
