Hi Quick introduction from a pair of newbies to this forum. We are Mike and Jan from UK and travel around the world a lot it seems. Last year was Botswana so this year we have gone a little different...

Thanks for the info. on William Penn. Next time we travel to the UK we might try to visit Jordans. I am happy to learn that you have made your ferry reservations and your Denali reservations. I agree that you should do well with playing it by ear for the balance of your trip. I have a suggestion and a caution for you. You might want to get a copy of Mike and Terri Church's book called "A traveler's Guide to Alaskan Camping; Alaska and Yukon Camping with an RV and Tent". It contains detailed information on camp sites, dump stations, locations for grocery shopping, and general tourist info. specific for camping. The caution is related to your time of travel. I don't know how long you are planning to be in Alaska and northern Canada areas. Be advised that some campgrounds begin to close up by mid September. If you plan to boondock (camp without electric, water, sewer hook ups), it probably won't be a problem. But, if you want or need hook ups, it could be an issue. As reported elsewhere on this forum, snow will begin in some areas by mid September, and measurable snow may accumulate by end of September. Best wishes for a great trip and keep up the adventures!
