In 1969 I married my wife and drove to Alaska in our 1969 Vw bus. Drove from Bedford MA to Eielson AFB (26 miles from Fairbanks) via Buffalo to Cleveland to Chicago to Twin Cities to Jamestown ND, crossed into Canada at Portal to Edmonton to Dawson Creek and then the Alcan to Eielson. Total mileage was almost 4800 miles. Left on Nov 19th and got to Eielson on Dec 4th with a day's layover in Edmonton to get the bus winterized.

Yeah, been there and done that, and you definitely get my vote. Hope you get here soon, and I hope you have got your "sourdough rating".
