Charlotte NC To Homer AK 07/01/2011 through 07/31/2011
Dates have beem selected, So far its me and Ole Red, and two tenatives, guy from work on his BMW and my buddy from Philly on his wing. I could end up solo if they back out but I am on with this, been years in the dreaming stage, seriously planning stage for a year, now the dates are set.
Route will be up through Michigan to Rt 2, west to Glacier NP, north into Canada through Banff and Jasper, then to Dawson to the ALCAN and the rest is straight on. 4900 miles one way from Charlotte, will be coming back through BC into WA down to I-80 and back east. I am budgeting about $3000.00 for the trip and 31 days. If anybody has the time money and balls to give it a ride you are welcome.

Shhhh. I am hiding this page from my husband. It's bad enough that I know about it.
It sounds like a wonderful trip. The Jasper run is beautiful. When you come I-80 through Wyoming we can give you an escort from Rawlins into Nebraska.

Nice Loop,
I have found Muskol(24% Deet) the only bug dope that works worth a shite on the rabid blood suckers from Prince George north. Just crossed the border with a guy from Idaho going solo to the Artic Circle. Go for it! Dirk |

This stuff, if you get it on your lips, their numb and you talk like you've been in the dentist chair all afternoon c/w drool out of the corner of your mouth-let alone get it in your eyes. I've hunted moose in the Atlin area quite a bit(B.C./Yukon Border) and the bugs thru the warm months have to be experienced! A trickle of sweat washs off enough dope that they use it as a landing strip and Horse Flys remove chunks that need 2wks to heal and hurts. I was cooking spag sauce once in camp and looked and the whole top was moving, with hundreds of no-seeums stuck in the sauce, just stirred the whole thing and served...mmmm protein. If your near bush you breath them in mouth&nose - moose standing in ponds with only noses and ears above water, but it is breathtaking vista's one after the next. Dirk |

Last time I went through there you could still by 100% deet.
The mosquitos in Fort St John, BC were the worst I've ever seen. Except for the no-see-ums in Alaska.

I find nets work best, use to do alot of camping down in the Glades, they were so thick you could ignite them with a lighter and watch the show..

Unless the picture includes a truck stop or the penitentiary, I might not believe it came from Rawlins. I spent a week there one morning trying to find someone who knew a VW bug from the kind you spray with Deet.
