I agree with the others that time of the year roads can be extremely bad and or closed. We live on the Idaho-Washington border on highway 12 & 95. If you come through this way stop by we have lots of room.

Your biggest hurdle will be when you send out the wiener dog for help in 6' snow drifts. She'll have a tough time dragging back that barrel under her chin! Good luck. I'd never chance it in the wintertime.

Here are some quick "early" numbers that I've rolled in my head...... I figure a bare minimum of 5,000 miles each way due to zig-zag and driving around. And some quick dates for right now consist of 57 days. That's 57 days for you Chevy guys, Ford kicks Chevy's hiney up and down the road, and I will be in a Ford! 57 days divided into 10,000 miles is 175 miles a day - I could do that sleep driving...... I just don't think that is that far per daily average. Hell, I may not make it to Alaska due to weather, but I can sure try. We'll just have to see what the conditions present. 70 miles an hour divided into 175 daily average is 2 and a half hours a day !!! I can't drive 2 and a half hours a day? Even if you doubled that due to "freedom of the road" and rubber neckin', that's still only 5 hours a day. I can do that. And would plan to drive that anyway. At 12 miles to the gallon, driving 175 miles a day, that's 14.60 gallons of gas. (Dude I'm Trippin already !!!) 14.60 gallons times $2.75 a gallon(and it won't be that high), equals $40 a day in gas. I think that's GREAT! So just say $50 a day in gas. that's 57 times $50 equals $2850. How is my math so far?

Hey Dave, I just returned from an 8000 mile trip from Pa. throughout the midwest and upto Washington then down to California and then back to washington and of course back to Pa. As far as gas prices go, the best I found in my travels was in Iowa @ 2.09 and the highest obviously on the west coast @ 3.19, these figures were for 87 octane. If you have room for an extra bed mounted fuel tank it may be a good idea, could save alot of $$$$$ over the course of you trip. Maybe fellow oldgassers can chime in with gas prices closer to your departure, it may help in planning a route that lets you fuel up with the least expensive gas and then cruise. I also bought alot of goodies on the way that will more than pay for the gas I used. I wish you well, have an awesome trip ! Matt
