We are trying to decide between the full trip or flying up.
Yes, flying is expensive, and there are things on the route we want to see.
But it is 2,375 miles to Dawson Creek - five hard days driving without stopping to see anything. And 2,380 miles home from Prince George - five more hard driving days.
That $2,000-2,500 in fuel, another $800 in expenses at least.
Now I want to travel those routes - and take my time. A three month Alaska trip with a month in Alaska easily becomes a six to ten month trip if we really enjoy it.
We are considering staging the rig near Seattle where a cousin can check on it and starting from there in mid-April 2015 - planning to get back to Seattle in mid-September.
