For years, I've wanted to do the Alaska Ferry, take the camper, drive and fly fish then drive back to Boise, ID. I'd like to spend at least a month to 6 weeks, fishing, seeing the sights, etc. I was thinking of taking my dog too as it's expensive to keep him at someone's house (boarding). Now that I'm ready and doing some preliminary research, I find the drive a bit daunting. I don't know if I really want to drive all that way home (I typcially will drive about 6 hrs/day) and it'd take me quite a while. So, I started thinking of flying, renting a car, doing some week long type lodges, etc. but they are really expensive too. Then I started thinking of a DIY and renting hotels, etc. That ends up being about half of a lodge price. Renting a car is quite expensive for a month too ($3-4k). Looking for ideas (or maybe encourgagement) from people who have done this type of trip. Picture is of my rig so it's capable of making the trip and I just got back from 7 weeks in Baja. That was about 1k miles to the border. To Anchorage, it's about 2700 miles.
