You might make it from Virginia to Tok in 11-12 days. We have driven three times from Maryland to Alaska, but have never driven straight through without stopping for a day of rest here and there along the way. We usually spend two nights in Whitehorse as it is a good place to stock up on food and take care of any issues with car/truck/motorhome. Also if you are driving the Alaska Highway there are places along there where you will want to take time to stop. We have taken 9 weeks twice to do the trip and 12 weeks once. Our 9 week trip this year did include Oregon and Washington, but we also did not go to several places in Alaska that we have already visited several times. Taking only 30-40 days to travel to and from Virginia to Alaska is really making for long driving days and very little sight-seeing.
We spent almost 4 weeks just in Alaska this time and spent no time in Fairbanks or Anchorage, just overnight stops.
With only that little time, you might do better to fly to Anchorage and rent a motorhome and spent the whole time in Alaska.
I hate to fly and love to drive. Plus, I really wanted to see Canada through the windshield. Thank you for the advice, we may be able to stretch it to 45 days, but that would be it. I get an estimate of 77 hours from my home town to homer, but that is just my navigation app or the internet. Unfortunately, I've got to get back to work. If I have three capable drivers, would you say that shooting to get to AK in 9-10 days is within the realm of possibly or unrealistic bordering on impossible?
