I kinda thought we wanted the company of another rig on our first run up there last year, but along the way we came to enjoy the beauty, solitude and wonder of the trip from Ft St John over to Anchorage.

Often times we'd see folks along the way for the next few days or so that we camped with earlier.

You are truly going to enjoy it. I found my apprehensions were not well founded after we did it. Can't wait to go back up first of July.
If you'd like to see our report and pics from last year drop me a PM
