Thanks, Tom/Barb! We'll take those stops and routes into consideration. Any campgrounds you'd recommend? DrewE, we plan on averaging about 8 hours a day for driving. When you live in Alaska, you get used to driving all day if you want to get anywhere. At least we'll actually be passing through different provinces and states instead of still being in Alaska after traveling all day! Plus, the first bit of the trip should have lots of light. Right now, it doesn't get dark up here until close to midnight! I don't plan on too many touristy stops with the animals. If you have any ideas for attractions that may be worth the time, let me know!
