Road trip update

Ok so as an update to my original thread about my road trip, I give you the update. Tomorrow morning I'm heading on my way. I'm fully loaded inside and out. I took a 20 miles each way highway trip to test out the shrink wrap job and everything stayed in place. The back seat is loaded to the roof as well but not in this picture. Alaska, im on my way.

 

Safe travels, hope your rig does well!

 

Hurry up. You've missed the Kings, but the Silvers should be running!

Where are you headed, it's a big state.

 

I'm headed to Wasilla from NC. I've been working up on the Slope since Nov I'm just finally getting all my stuff together and moved

 

We had a cabin on the Kuskokwim when I was a kid. A couple hours west of Wasilla by bush plane. Usually made the flight out from Anchorage, though.
Flew out a few years back just to see it as an adult. Got in some great fishing out of Seward and Talkeetna while up that way.

Beautiful place Alaska still is. Hope you have a little time to enjoy it between shifts!

 

Alaska is beautiful, and there’s plenty of offroad trails to hit in the valley, likely just off your driveway

 

Just returned from a three week RV romp around Alaska. Flew into Anchorage and rented an RV roamed where we wanted for three weeks and it was awesome. I'm going back, but I'm taking Tacoma the next time.

 

I wish you a safe happy road trip buddy...I live in NC, and that's along way from Alaska. I've got a nephew stationed in Anchorage. Hey keep us posted my man!!!

 

My wife and i will be headed there also, in November! your drive should be a lot warmer than ours haha

 

First gas stop of the day. Not a bad average for crossing the mountains in WV

 

Well you can tell I'm on flatter ground now. Making good time too. I'm in Illinois. Now for the detour north. Gonna make a stop in Minneapolis to see family for the night

 

Have a safe trip.

 

Hey Rich, have a good and safe time!

Just a note to save Jerry the mod the trouble- you can post trip reports here:

Wish I could go, driving through beautiful Canada?

 

Just wondering how hard your pushing. Trying to make good time? Or just taking it easy?

Thanks

 

Holy moly you like to cut it close on fuel stops lol

Safe journey to you!

 

Distance to Empty means he still has about 2 gallons of gas.
At least that's I see on mine. I've gone another 40 miles past 0.

 

Awesome! Have a good trip!

 

A little of both. I made good time by only stopping for gas but I was also running 75 all day

 

And I wanted to push it all the way to zero but the gas stations were few and far between when stops came. Also, at each fill up I got 19 gallons give or take
