Home to Alaska
I am planning my return home to Anchorage, from the Las Vegas area. Last year,on April 30th, I hit a whiteout between Watson Lake and Teslin and I really don't want to go through that again! I have...

Hi Joe, I am trying to get into a program with the Anchorage School District, which has RV'er park/live full time on school grounds in the summer. It starts May 20th or so, so I'd like to have the big rig up here by then. Actually, I did fly home for several weeks, leaving the RV in Arizona! My original plan was to fly back to AZ May 22 and then drive north, but I really want to be in this program.
I'm working toward the goal of having 2 RVs as homes - the big one is going to stay in AK and I'll fly down to AZ this coming winter and pick up a second one (24-26 foot) as my "winter home". I've had enough of driving the AlCan twice a year. Oh, I was a commercial fisherman for a few years out of Seward. I'll bet your comm.fish friends are from Homer?
I should have included "in May" in the topic - I thought I did that but apparently not.
I've learned a lot in my first year of RVing, and #1 is that I don't need a 31' rig and I don't like driving it alone. The gas cap is above the back bumper, making it a PITA to fuel. I do like the slide and I can make this RV work for me for Alaska, where I don't travel much anyway because I've lived here 30+ years and did all my traveling when I was younger. Now I just stay near my daughter (yes, you remember correctly!) and two granddaughters for the most part, except for Valdez in August for silvers, with my friends.
I'd be open to a female travel companion in the rig - I've got the word out to my friends and "friends of friends". I had a publishing acquaintance fly up from New York City last September just to make the trip south with me. We had a great time :) I bet that I'll see many Alaskan plates on at least a few RV's on my way north. Thanks for your info - it helped!
