Today we learned that the pickup camper we were going to rent was stolen on a hunting trip in Northern Michigan. Maybe we'll still have to buy one...we have time and options yet.
Today I was able to make reservations on the Alaska Marine Ferry also....leaving Prince Rupert, BC on June 9, 2011 and making stops in Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Haines, and Skagway before heading up to the Alkan highway. We'll be spending about 2 weeks on the inland passage. Exciting!

Preparation for Travel
We are really getting excited about our trip coming up in June of 2011. We are emailing some of the parks in AK, checking ferry schedules, trying to read and study about the areas we're going to visit. The Alaska magazine is helpful to give a flavor of the State but books from the library are also making contributions. One in particular is Insight Guides ALASKA.
Sid N., a friend of ours, connected us with a man in GR, MI who will rent us a camper for the back of our truck, a Ford F-250 Diesel which we bought for the purpose of travel after retirement. So, while I won't post on here too much for now, this introduction is to let you know that this trip is in the planning stages.
