Alaska

Anybody going to Alaska this year?

Clifford was talking about going.

You are welcome to stay here at our place on the way. Lots of space to overnight. Ten minutes East of highway 2 near Blackie AB. 1/2 hour South of Calgary.

And I have 4 MC9s if you need a spare bus...

JC,

I think you should advertise in a periodical called Bus Conversion Magazine.  It is nice to have a place in Canada where anyone can fly in and rent an MC-9 fully converted and stocked and ready to travel up the highway to go to Alaska and enjoy the scenery and take the ferry back.  I don't want to beat my bus up driving up that highway, but someone else's bus, no problem.

must be awfully rough roads up there to need 4 spares. lol

[lostagain]

Well, they are still seated ex Greyhound MC12s. I better start converting quick for this season's Alaska adventurers...

No hurry JC.  People usually wait until early summer to go to AK so you have plenty of time yet.  Oh wait, early summer is just around the corner so you had better get cracking on them.

Mario will be headed up there in a couple of weeks.

Having lived in Alaska and traveled the Alcan Hwy the best time to visit is the month of May before the summer rains start.

Sounds exciting guys! You're giving me ideas!

Go for it, we did it last year, 12,000 miles, four months, & bought a piece of land there so we know we'll be back...

Ditto what Dan said.  I made the same run some 45 years ago in  Chevy Carryall 4x4.  My recollections of the beauty of the region remain as fresh in my memory as if it had been last year.  Jack

Made our second trip last year. Roads won't hurt a bus. Met two other bus owners, one in Homer and one in Tok(the landowner. Great trip took all summer. This date last year we were exploring Skagway. Don't let anyone discourage you from the trip. Its a long trip but then again you are exploring about half a continent.
We left the RGV on April 23 and returned November 5.

Hi Bill, nice to hear from you! We recall meeting you in the back of the Chevron station there in Tok. It won't happen this year but looking very forward to returning.

Hopefully I'll have the truck conversion done for Alaska next year. Good Luck, TomC
