Re: Border crossing with a pet
I have always gotten health certs to be on the safe side. I have only had one border person ask for documentation, out of 10 crossings. It was at the Alaska border, last summer. We were traveling with 3 dogs and he didn't seem to have any problems with that. He didn't even really do a thorough job of checking, he just asked to see the rabies info and when I opened my organized files to pull them out, I guess he figured they were legit, which they were.552Views0likes0CommentsRe: Favorite Campgrounds on the Alaska Hwy?
I will look for "Alaskan Camping" when I go to town today. It is probably time for a new copy of Milepost too, but I might hold off until 2014 comes out. Thanks for the suggestions, joe b! I have always wanted to stay at Liard River Hot Springs. I really need to find a way to work that one in this time.233Views0likes0CommentsRe: Coming back into the US-food issues?
I usually have picnic type foods when I cross the border (in AK, WA, MT, ND and Canada-YT, MB, AB,BC) and have never had a problem in either direction. I just rattle off whatever I have at the time and the border person doesn't seem to care. I have had salami, cheese, grapes, crackers and carrots that I can think of, off hand.156Views0likes0CommentsFavorite Campgrounds on the Alaska Hwy?
We just got our first motorhome; class C 2003 29' Tioga! We live in Homer, AK and I am beginning to plan our big trip next summer. We took it out last night for a test run down on the Spit and had a blast. Learned about the things I forgot...bottle opener. We are going to Seward in a couple of weeks for a few days and I may be taking it to Denali in September. That all depends on whether I win the road lottery this year. We have driven the Alaska Highway 5 times and the last time was with a 26' moving truck and a Suburban towing an enclosed trailer. We tent camped most of the way that time so we are very familiar with the terrain and road conditions...or lack there of in places. From an RV standpoint, does anyone have favorite campgrounds? I noticed last year that some places looked much better for RVers and I didn't enjoy them as much as a tenter. Now that I am doing from the opposite perspective, I want to plan a fun trip! Thanks! We plan on grinding it out to get down to see family in Minnesota and then slowly making our way back. I am thinking of taking the Cassiar home. I have driven that in a car, but not with a truck or RV, so we are sorta iffy on that.1.7KViews0likes5Comments
