Planned Route To Alaska

---

Today is a great day in Bismarck, ND. Sunny today with highs in the high 70s.

I have been asked what is my projected route of travel to Anchorage, AK. I put a lot of thought into that route and here is what I have come up with. You will notice that the miles between stops is not that far. This will allow me to spend time at selected cities and enjoy the scenery and people. I will be camping the majority of the trip which will allow me to vary my stops. It seems there will always be room along the way to pitch a tent at an established campground.

Here's the dates, itinerary locations, highways traveled and total scheduled miles for that day. As I mentioned, this is the scheduled dates and locations...it's my timeframe and it is all adjustable! The only deadline is that I have to be on a ferry departing Haines, AK on July 14.
