I hope to see some of you there. Make sure you have a RV.Net sticker on your toad.

We are leaving Georgia, going West to Texas and California, then North to Ephrata, WA, where we met our caravan. We will tour the Canadian Rockies for 21 days before entering Alaska.
We have an RV.Net sticker on the toad, no back window in the mh.

Flylipsdaddy (and others northbound): Would suggest coming back home via Cassiar rather than going up. That would put you close to Hyder in late summer when salmon are in, which means bear viewing. Don't think there will be salmon on your way up. Hyder is good for a couple of days or so. Don't miss bear viewing on the raised platform and the drive up to Salmon Glacier. Both are Don't Misses.

Been there, done that. Enjoyed it.
Tips:
1. Fit a screen to keep bugs out of your radiator.
2. Get a small plastic insecticide sprayer and a collapsible long-handled brush. Clean bugs off the front of the vehicle(s) every day. The longer you wait, the harder they are to remove.
3. Most important, buy a copy of "Milepost." I would never think of making the trip without it.
