I want to drive the Alaskan Highway someday, probably after I retire. The only reason I got to Hawaii, was R&R, and then on the military pay, I got to experience very little of what was there. I probably found the seediest and cheapest bars there though.

LOL. I guess I had my diff reasons for going to Hawaii. I still am not 100% why it had the affect it did on me... but sometimes I don't even think about that anymore. I just go with the flow. It's definately changed my life.

The Alaska Highway is great. If you drive the whole way like we did it really puts it in perspective... especially if you think how far some of the folks went for the Gold in the goldrush.

Make sure after you drive it you get one of those T-shirts that says, "I survived the Alaska Highway." I got mine hanging on my wall, lol. It's a rough road... get's torn up a lot, and there are more RV's from Florida than a RV lot, but the drive is one in a million. It'll stay with you forever.

like Fl wow went to march break 2 yrs in Fort Lauderdale meny moons ago what a party. so you are a drifter cowgirl, went middle age crazy myself, got a BMW R100RT bike quit work and took off for a yr, bike week in daytona, sturgis etc. it was great. read "Zen and the art of motocycle maintiance" it inspired me. work was no prob Avionics Tech by trade (aircraft electronics) someone always wants something fixed. hay maybe we will go old age crazy and follow the sun.
hay Bell when you drive the Alaskan Highway stop in Tucktiyucktuc (spelling?) they have a 9 ft Polar Bear standing in a small bar, its paws must be 9 inchs across.

Right on you are branbo.

Man I miss that now that I'm thinking back on it... the wild side of American/Canada. And by wild I mean wild.... untouched world.

Never been called a drifter cowgirl before... ...crazy...yes...wanderlust...absolutely...btw...I've been to Sturgis too...still have my black and purple teeshirt...and I like bikes...LOVE...the Black Mountains of South Dakota <--- ...great place to camp before and after the rally...Ft Liquordale is what we call it..."wild" during spring break...a li'l old for that now...but I still refuse to grow up... :woot

Tuktoyaktuk close but no cigar for me, a really wild place is Eureka on Elsmere island, collected rose rocks there (super engorged calcite crystals).
Starz i don't think you are "a li'l old for that now" maybe settled, comfortable and happy. i would not leave my baby’s for anything but when they get older i want to show them some of the amazing things out there.

Go for it branbo...never too old for an adventure...No doubt the whole family will LOVE it...And you are right there is so much beauty out there...Still lots I want to see...
