My First Post

Well I have just set this blog site up so that the few people who may be interested in my encounters as i drive northwest towards Alaska can read about my travels. While this is only the beginning of March 2009, I will obviously be adding short stories and pictures once I take off which should be about Mid-June.

For quite some time now, I have really wanted to go to Alaska, however I prefer to drive. As long as I have no deadlines, thats the way to go. My plan once started is to basically camp the entire way, at least 98% of the way. As long as no unforeseen circumstances come along, I am expecting all to go well.  I will miss my daughter who will not be with me as I take this journey solo. I will leave in Mid-June and if all goes according to plan I will be wandering back in late July/Early August. I will make my posts brief as not to bore anyone once my trip begins and as long as I can get a signal to log on ....Until next time :)
