This was our trip of a lifetime. We left home May 21, 2013, traveling south and west across the gulf coast, trying to stay out of tornado areas of the country. We headed north thru Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana before crossing into Canada. We traveled from the 2013 Tiger Rally in Colorado with our friends in their Tiger from Colorado to Valdez Alaska. This part of our trip took us thru the Tetons NP, Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP throughout Alberta, British Columbia, and the southern tip of Alaska (Hyder), Canadian Rockies, Yukon, and on into northern Alaska at Tok. In Alaska we traveled down to Skagway, took a car ferry to Haines, back up to Tok & back down to Valdez Alaska. From Valdez on we went separate way thru the rest of Alaska and back home. Our travels continued around Valdez, the highlight being a mother grizzly bear and 4 cubs, over to Anchorage and up to Fairbanks. We camped at a friend’s home in Fairbanks and traveled from there on up to the Arctic Circle, back down to Fairbanks, on to Tok, and back into Canada. We went across the Yukon, up into the Northwest Territories, and then headed south thru the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta and back into the US, arriving on August 7, 2013. We entered the US thru Montana and headed for West Glacier NP to meet up with friends from North Carolina. We took the “Road to the Sun” with them to Logan Pass, had a nice visit and then headed on our way to Belt Montana to visit with Holly’s friend Boots. From there we traveled thru North Dakota Badlands, South Dakota Mount Rushmore and the Badlands, and of course we stopped at Wall Drugs. While in the South Dakota Badlands we met a couple from Australia, who were RVing for 6 months in the US. They later camped at our home during their travels. Next we headed into Nebraska to visit Carhenge the US version of the British Stone henge. After all this we started heading east, towards home. We stayed with family in Grottoes Va. for 3 days of R&R before taking the last run of our journey. Our two dogs Nicky & Sandy did really well for the entire trip. On August 25 2013, we arrived home. We spent 97 days on the road in the Tardis our time travel machine, a 21 foot 2011 Ford F350 4X4 Bengal Tiger Class “C” RV built in West Columbia SC by Tiger Adventure Vehicles, Provan Industeies,LLC. It is bigger on the inside.
Our travels covered 15,000 miles of the most spectacular scenery in North America and the world.
The photos tell the rest of the story (20,000 photos) The important thing is there is something new and wonderful around every corner. Enjoy the trip
What’s next? Who knows?
We are looking forward to many more great travels adventures in the future.
