Alaska Trip 2012

The purpose of this blog will be to document my trip to Alaska this summer. The plan is to drive my Dodge Power Wagon with Four Wheel Camper from Mesa, AZ to Alaska and back over a period of approximately 10 weeks (mid July - late Sept). Interests for this trip are camping, fishing, exploring offroad and visiting historical sites along the way. Currently I'm researching routes and places I must see. My friend Al from San Diego will be making this trip with me in his Tacoma outfitted with an AT Flippac Camper. We are both recently retired and have been wanting to do this for a long time.
This is my first attempt at blogging and I hope I can sort it out well enough to keep our friends informed on our travel.
I also want to note that this is not just about Alaska as it just represents about a third of the journey.  We will also be traveling in British Columbia, Yukon and a bit of the Northwest Territories, all of which are just as important to the trip as Alaska.
