This question comes up time after time. Going to ALaska is not like going to the moon. You have to pass through Canada. A very big place with lots of friendly helpful people. Alaska is very civilised too. Did you know that they actually have Walmarts & McDonalds there? They really do. The roads are pretty good too. Nowhere near as bad as some of the interstates in the Northeast. You won't find a gas station on every corner. Accept that fuel will be more than you are used to paying & enjoy the trip. You really don't need anyone to hold your hand.
