Tacoma vs. Alcan Highway

Cool, I will be on Richardson somewhere mid July /Aug.

 

Ill be making the trip up in april! Cant wait! gonna be at JBER.

 

it is great here -


things I learned - do not drive after 5pm - hotel rooms book quickly

buy cigarettes if you smoke - $15 in Canada

buy beer - beer is pricey too

I bought a refrigerator cooler, loaded on the basic - milk cold cuts etc

milepost is good but some of the stop have closed down - I took 2 5gl gas cans

Canada border patrol - be cool - the dickhead in front of me , gave the guy lip and searched all of his shit including trailer

I would not pull over 2500lbs next time , I did around 3700 lbs and that put my range at 260miles a tank.

Get the garmin from the bx/px that has Canada/us/mexico maps, it helps.

 

yeah gonna do the cooler hoping just to have the truck not sure on that yet. just got the milepost book. how is the base? internet? I'm at ft. ord now terrible cable/internet services. and ill look into the gps mine is pretty old just use the iPhone now (not much help up there)

 

I applied for housing before I left fort knox (took 1.5 weeks to move in), I like I live it the qtrs. behind bx on the elmendorff side.

Some will argue to live off post but I am lazy and do not want to fight traffic.

Base is good, I am Army in a Air force assignment, so I am lucky. Cable and internet is great. XM satellite radio does not work here.

PM if you got any questions.

 

ok thanks!
