    Great photos from your trip. Was that a baby car seat that you used for your dog ??

    Long road trips can be a lot of fun, especially if you take a lot of pics to remember them. ... :D

    No, it was his doggy pillow, not a car seat. The trip was fun, that's for sure.

    Nice!!! I assumed you went alone. Do you really need 4x4 to do such a trip?

    I only used 4x4 twice during the trip, first time somewhere in B.C. at night on the mountain road, there was about a foot of mixed snow, I could have made it without 4x4 but it did give me more control. The second time, to get up the drive way at the house where I currently live. It all depends on the time of the year you make the trip. Also on weather. 90% of the way the road was clear when I went through. The roads are mostly clear but when you get off the road for gas and rest, the parking lots are for the most part snow and ice.

    I wouldn't mind doing it again, the only problem is the money, or the lack of thereof :)
