Re: Alright all you Alaskans!
ROFLMAO!!!<br /><br />Yes, you are correct. That would be the Glenn Highway. The Glenn meets the Parks Highway and then the Richardson Highway. The Denali highway cuts between the two, but is rough and you would have to go about 30 mph the whole way. The Richardson meets the Dalton haul road and the Steese Highway.<br /><br />The Seward Highway goes South. The Seward meets the Sterling Highway.<br />That would be about it.<br /><br />If you are with non-fishing people, the Russian is a beautiful river, but is a bit of a hike down the trail. <br />The Kings will be running full steam. The Kenai river is a wonderful green. One of the most beautiful rivers in the world, IMHO. I can arrange a float trip while your parents drive the RV down to the pickup point. We could fish for Kings all the way down. BTW, the World Record King came from this river!! 98 lbs. I have a friend who promised to drift me down the river in his boat, I could be able to hooook you up. <br /><br />IMO, some places to see. <br />Hope, AK. A little end of the road town. <br />Denali on a clear day. The igloo a little further up the road. <br />Take a drive back to the Peter's Creek Roadhouse. Not far from Talkeetna. A little off trail, a little back in time. I usually only go there in the winter on snowmachines. <br />Homer, AK and a halibut charter, another end of the road town. <br />Fishing and camping at Crooked Creek campground in Kasilof, AK. (Kings will be in then too) I might be able to get you out on the beach a bit down the road, if I can get time off.<br />There is soooooo much to do and see, but in a week.....it depends on what you want to see and what you expect to see. If you expect to see native Alaskans living in huts and igloos, you are out of luck. If you expect to see some of the most beautiful country in the world, you are in for a treat.<br /><br />You can send me all the e-mail you want. I will try to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability.<br /><br />To get the Milepost, here is one place.<br />
Milepost <br />You should be able to order one and get it pretty quick. If you need, I can pick one up and mail it to you. It is a bit overwhelming. There is a lottttt of info in it. One place you have to stop at, if the parent's aren't too (what's the word) shy, maybe. Skinny Di**'s Halfway Inn. Get a shirt from there, it is a must!! Good friendly bar up north. Just remember, this a VERY large state. If you take your time, it could take a week to go from Anchorage to Fairbanks, to GlennAllen, and back to Anchorage.<br /><br />Good day trips, Hike Flattop, Thunderbird Falls, Portage Glacier cruise and Big Game Alaska, Glacier cruise out of Seward, Drive thru tunnel to Whittier (Costs about $40 for an RV), Tram trip up Mt Alyeska (Winter ski resort, summer -mountain bike down). Lots to do and see.<br /><br />AK Chappy
