That would be interesting. Alaska is beautiful. And, if planned in summer,
I'd be ready to leave the 115 degree desert to drive up there.

Subject: [MBZ] Arctic-Q...?
A few years ago, my dad's cousin and her husband drove the Dalton Highway
to Deadhorse, Alaska...some 4,000+ miles from Kansas City in a camper. You
can drive within 3 miles of the Arctic Ocean and from there a bus takes you
to the Ocean...Prudhoe Bay to be exact. Usually about freezing even in the
summer. The Dalton Highway is mostly gravel, hard on cars (particularly
windshields and headlights), etc. Tons of articles on line and picture
galleries.
A sample: http://gorp.away.com/gorp/activity/byway/ak_dalton.htm
Anyone interested in an "Arctic-Q"? Not really able to do this any time
soon - maybe this coming summer...or the following summer...but I have been
thinking about it and thought I would throw it out for thoughts, reactions,
ideas, etc. Could be very interesting as a multi-car caravan...we could
carry lots of tools and spare parts between several vehicles in addition to
all the other stuff - spare tires, food, water, clothes for the arctic
blasts that can come at any time, etc.
