Alaska Expedition June & July 2008

This is our long anticipated road trip to Alaska. We've been to Alaska a couple times but never had the time or flexibility to see as much as we wanted. This trip we will drive our 2004 Land Rover Discovery, taking the Alaska Marine Highway from Bellingham, WA to Haines, AK then driving thorough Valdez, Anchorage, Denali (camping for 5 nights), Fairbanks, Ft McPhearson, CA and parts of the Alaska Highway back to the "Lower 48." About 36 days and 6000 driving miles.
