On the Trail is bringing you this tantalizing picture of Holgate Glacier in Alaska as a means of announcing plans for a series of blogs beginning in May. The series will be titled “North to Alaska” and will take readers from the East Coast of the United States to the West Coast and then north to Alaska, through Alaska, and back. So far, I’ve driven the Alaska Highway some 35 times and the fourth edition of my book on the subject is due out later this month. I think it is safe to say that I know what to see and where to go as well as where to get the best price for gas and just who is gouging for gas.
North to Alaska will cover all these subjects and tell you how to visit this glacier as part of your trip, where to best see a bear or a moose or even a whale. Anyone who is looking for specific information about anything between Virginia and Alaska should post a comment on this blog or on any of the North to Alaska blogs as we go along. I’ll do my best to answer any and all questions about driving to Alaska in the modern age. This is going to be a great trip and you’re invited to come along.
If you’re interested in obtaining a copy of Guide to the Alaska Highway or archival-quality prints of any of the photos you see in my blogs, please leave a message under comments below or e-mail me directly at rdcomm@gci.net. The books and pictures will also soon be available at my web site, www.thedigitalrver.net.
