Default Finally Back From the Road Trip from Hell...

Just got back to Tulsa from a road trip from Tok, Alaska to Gloucester, Va. Incredible scenery but man, what a trip. I took plenty of pictures, some aren't that good but here's a link to the album.

Yeah i did, and I have to say all the people in Canada were extremely nice and helpful. Had to stop down in High River I think, somewhere south of Calgary and get some tires for one of the trailers and they were very good people to deal with, and very fast. I drove that whole trip in a gasser with 8,000 lbs behind it. Not fun

To drive through the Canadian Rockies up to Alaska and back is Wifey and I's dream trip. Don't know if it'll ever happen, but it doesn't hurt to dream. Glad you were able to make the trek, even if there were a couple bumps in the road. We're jealous!

Awesome pics man. Hopefully one day we'll get to make that trip. Only problem is that I don't think I'd ever want to leave once we got there.

Its definitely an incredible place and the drive up the Alaska highway is awesome, during the right time of the year. Wait atleast til June to make sure most of the snow is gone and the fuel stops are open. If anybody that wants to drive it ever gets the chance, I'd definitely say do it atleast one time
