YAY! So happy for you guys! Have a wonderful time! Can't wait to see your adventures!

[darlenekeene]

So excited. I love Alaska. I want to do that drive some day.

[LyfeUntethered]

You two are great at sharing your stories! I felt the stress with you.

[hpqzhpqz]

Hello Nomads. Great trip ! I'm following along. Can you give a quick update on how scout is doing ?

[qiang]

Welcome to Canada my American neighbours! Can’t wait to see the land border reopen. You know we love your dollars!

[LivedayWanderland]

Just subscribed!!! love the videos, we are brand new and hoping to do many of these trips, the drive to Alaska is definitely on our bucket list. We used to live in Ocala, FL, can relate to the Florida life lol. We don't miss that humidity though. Can't wait to see the Alaskan adventures

[EatSleepRVRepeat]

Yay Alaska!!!!
Lou & Angie

We drove through Canada from Washington to Anchorage twice. Both in winter while we were moving up there from Georgia. We were planning to go again this summer. Maybe next year. Beautiful place. Make sure to get Moose’s Tooth Pizza in Anchorage. 😋

[janeshannon]

Can’t wait for videos of Alaska. We used a lot of your tips for the Fl Keys on our trip last week (lobster Reuben!!!) We are planning an Alaskan cruise May 2022 for my dads 90th birthday.

[MiRogers]

Welcome to the Yukon Territory. I thought I heard you say the province of Yukon…not a province)…just for info 😉

[virginialemm]

I can’t tell you how excited for you I am! As soon as you crossed-over into Canada, I literally yelled They had better fully open-up Canada or their tourist economy will get and stay in the tank. If you’re vaccinated there shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t travel there! As long as you have proof of vaccination, there shouldn’t be any problem! I think those critters were either white-tailed deer or antelope. I am jealous of you in your Navion! Can’t wait to finalized my father’s estate and just TAKE OFF! Where? ANYWHERE! Safe and happy traveling to you, Virginia

[nowlinak]

Great video!! Really enjoyed this video!! Thanks for sharing!

[gurjindersingh]

I can't wait till the border opens moving from b.c to wa

[richardsollenberger]

Wow, what a trip. Glad you made it and now you can take your time. Safe travels.

[abebirch]

Great video! We have added Alaska RV trip through Beautiful Canada on our bucket list. What kind of questions did Canadian Customs ask?

[toddramsay]

Dude, your first stop in the Yukon scoping out the site and no bear spray with you? Might end badly sometime. Great video! We went several years ago, but we went slow, took us 3.5 weeks. Of course we did take a detour to Tuktoyyuktuk, NWT on the Artic Ocean after they completed the road from Inuvik, NWT.

[genesiesky]

I love travel days. Thanks for posting. That's good gas mileage given you are also towing.

[tangledsilver]

Thanks for the info. Planning to do this journey from Alaska to Alabama for employment reasons, gives me an idea of what to expect.
