    Maybe you should contact the history channel and let them film you in this adventure. They might even pay you for doing it. Of course you would have to add some drama here ad there.
    Anyway, I wish you all the luck and good health in this venture.

    Get lots of blue tarps and bungee cord.

    Tar paper used to be called "Ketchikan Roll Siding". Now tyvek house wrap takes the honors.

    Great adventure!

    Why did you decide to drive through AK and Canada instead of taking the ferry all the way to Prince of Wales Island? Just curious....

    Not to speak for AkGuy but the pricing for taking a towed vehicle behind you on an Ak Marine Highways ferry is absolutely insane and he is towing his travel trailer.

    What an experience for your son! This is something I bet, that will always stay with him, and how much he will learn by doing all of this will just be an incredible experience for the both of you. We will most definitely keep you in our thoughts and prayers for safe journey and blessings on your project, that the Lord will have his hand upon all of it. Enjoy yourself, but don't be a stranger!

    Trip of a lifetime and something I miss. I had a great aunt who lived in AK when I was a teen. Spent an entire summer there when I was 13 at her fly in fish camp. She is gone and the fish camp went back to the government. I always wanted to live up there full time and live off the land.

    Thanks guys.... I have a TON of tarps, boxes of bunngies, and pleanty of rain gear... Cordova where I live now is on the top end of the rain forest, but it gets colder here in cordova so the rain is converted to wet slushy snow by the foot in the winter time.....

    I will NOT miss the kind of snow we get in Cordova one BIT....lol

    Hey AG did your wife in the one pic just throw the shovel out of the hole? looks like the shovel handle in the upper left corner. Can't say I would blame her if she did, THAT is alot of snow.
    Good luck.
