I'm thinking that's a pretty good idea and maybe would even shorten the trip up thereby giving us more time on the return with the good weather.
What might I expect to pay for a truck and fifth wheel? Best places to embark and dembark? Cheepest? Am I going to be able to find a spot this late? I understand it can be quite full. However we're obviously very flexible and I suppose headed up earlier than most.
Not sure.
Try searching for "ferries from lower 48 to Anchorage AK", and see what turns up. Probably cheapest from the Seattle area, but I'm guessing. I believe there are cruise ships that leave from there to go to Anchorage, but I have no idea how far south the west coast ferries go.
If they're booked up, ask about getting on a cancellation/standby list.
Good luck with it.
