We are also now confirmed for the 2013 trip from Iowa to Alaska, friday may 10 9:35 orientation. And a big thanks to carol for all the usefull info already.

Hi cwcawcAL,
Glad you're a part of the 2013 trip. Last Friday, we moved our 9:35 A.M. orientation to 10:35 A.M. to be with my brother and sister-in-law. Otherwise, we would have been with you.
I agree, Carol's journals are wonderful and provide extremely detailed information that is certainly needed.
We were unable to wait for GAH to send The Milepost, so we went online at Amazon and purchased the 2012 issue for $20.00. We also purchased a 2013 atlas and therefore did not have to pay shipping. My understanding is GAH will send The Milepost after the first of the year and hopefully it will be the 2013 issue.
I have reached out to several other past participants in the Sprng Adventure program and all have been so kind to share their experiences and resources.
If you would like to reach out to us by e-mail, it is sjdestes@gmail.com and I'll keep you posted as we gather information.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi RV'Rs,
Sent you email. Sounds as though you will have travel companions. Choosing same routes, etc?

It's great to see ya'll as excited about your trip as we were this time last year! Unless they change things, we've always gotten the Milepost from the previous year. (I suppose they get a bargain that way!) So for our 2010 trip we had a 2009 milepost, and in 2012 we had a 2011 milepost. I tore out all the sections that I knew we wouldn't use in order to save luggage space.

I have not checked into the milepost as yet, bur I have all ready cut out pages
from Woodalls Campground book. Take only pages dealing with trip. Plus Woodalls
is now available on Ipad, if have wifi.

Hi All GAH RVer's!

We ( hubby, sister and I) signed up for Trip #5 in 2013 the week following our return in May 2012! We keep saying that this our last trip but the call of Sue T.'s country is too strong! Her new pictures make me think about the Yukon on a daily basis! If I could just invent a Star Trek transporter, I would live in the Yukon and work at my job in Florida. Our time line in May 2012 did not allow us to drive the Top of the World! When we got to Whitehorse the west side of the Yukon River still had 8 foot of snow and the Border Patrol had still not reported to the crossing! So the plan is to try again in 2013!

So it goes! We will be arriving in MSP on Friday, May 10th!

If you are new to the GAH trip and have any questions, please ask away!

Hi Grandma Carol!

Are you guys doing the trip again in 2013?

We are going to try to do the TOW and Prudhoe Bay again! We decided to start the trip on saturday to give us an extra day on the other end to try to get up to Prudhoe since we missed being able to do the trip by one day this year!

Look forward to hearing from you!

Cheryl

Hi Cheryl! No - we're skipping this year. Hope you enjoy the TOW as much as we did last year - we went across the first day the border control was on duty, and had one snow detour on the route but loved it! We also saw Prudhoe Bay on that trip - but only the airport on our way to Barrow. Glad your sister is able to go back with you again this year. Tell her I said Hi! And I sure do know what you mean about Sue's pictures!! Between she and Murray, I've fallen in love as much with the Yukon as AK!
