I've driven from Pennsylvania to Anchorage in 10 days, its about 5000, if i remrmber correctly. I hitch-hiked the same distance in 14 days. On the way up, we took the cassier highway (which i highly recommend) instead of the alcan...neither was paved then, but major construction had started on the alcan. i suspect it is mostly if not all paved now. Those were great trips i hope to retrace someday soon...(i can't imagine the luxury of doing it in a westy ... we cooked alongside the road on little gas stoves and slept on the ground under the stars). try http://www.mcn.org/b/roadcow/ for a recount of a trip by VW westy (the roadcow) from CA to prudhoe bay... steve '89 syncro san francisco Scot Douglas wrote: > Hey everybody! > Currently I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska doing some auto testing and I'm > lookin' around saying to myself; I should really come back here > sometime > in one of my vehicles... > > Anybody know how long it would take to drive here from Michigan? > > ANyway, this is beautiful country up here. > -- > Scot Douglas > Powertrain Performance Engineer, > Mitsubishi Motors R&D of America > Ann Arbor, Michigan |
