@Mrs. FarFromStock and I discussed it last night and we are definitely in for this one. With so much time to plan, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to make it. We will be shooting for the "farthest traveled" award coming from central Florida. She's already planning the route there with all the "must do" stops along the way. I'm hoping 3 weeks is enough to do everything.

I Grew up in AK and lived there 21 years. Still have a mom and sister in Wasilla. Made the road trip from Anchorage to Arizona and back 13 times. When I first drove the AlCan, it was 930 miles of dirt road through Canada. I was 16 and had my license 2 weeks and drove from Anchorage to Bisbee, AZ in 5 days! 1/2 day from Anch to the Canada border, 2 days to cross Canada and 2 days to cross the US top to bottom. That included 2 speeding tickets. It was first week of January and winter was the best time to drive it. Got to Arizona and came out from a restaurant to find an old timer looking at the studded tires on my truck. He said 'Son, I don't know where you been, but your tires are full of nails!'. I know that dates me a bit as it is all paved now. Some of the most beautiful and rugged country you will ever see.

There was group of 5 of us that traveled around the state and parts of Canada (mostly Whitehorse). We would run all types of off road and tank trails on our dirt bikes. I'm sure there are some great off road runs that could be done. Unlike the South where I currently live, there is almost no fencing.

I sub'd this and we will certainly be interested in making the trip!

3,700 miles from Rochester, MN - through Edmonton up to Fairbanks then to Prudhoe Bay. That's a trip!

Is there a plan to include out kids? Knowing we'd need to stop a bit more frequently... That would be a trip of a lifetime!

Would everyone just converge somewhere in Alaska? Fairbanks or what?
