But you didn't have your own wheels , did you? We only went places
where we could drive ourselves, but there were plenty - and the ferries
we took took our car on them. We went to many out of the way places on
back roads the Denali "hiway" , the "top of the World" .. drove the
first year up the Cassiar
a, truck route gravel road that intersected with the Alcan outside
Watson Lake in the Yukon. Our trips to Alaska and the Canadian north
west were bucket list trips RIchard was dying of cancer for several
years.. in and out of remission.. We were not doing a lot of adventure
sight seeing.. , except for at DEnali where we had to take the busses -
believe me Dan, we saw lots of off the beaten track and could stopa dn
go as we pleased.. traveling usuall no more than 100 to 200 miles a day,
if that.. We only spent a few ours on the road a day... then RIchard
would relax in a motel room leaving me free to take the car and
roam alone..

The ferries are great where they exist, but the places we found most
fascinating -- Kotebue, Nome, King Salmon, Katmai -- are accessible
only by air. One of the most impressive experiences was flying from
Anchorage to Kotzebue, a 560 mile trip that passes over thousands of
unnamed rivers and streams and quite a few peaks that no human has
ever ascended. The vastness of the state is overwhelming.

Thanks, Dan it certainly is. Took ferries now and then out of
necessity . rural Northwest Canada was as important to our
adventures
as was Alaska
itself.
