We have McCain down here so understand the situation with Murcowski!

We'll be spending as much time up there as possible -- maybe late May to Sept. Will hit Alaska at Tok or maybe come Top of the World from Dawson and spend some time working down to Tok. Thought we'd head for Fairbanks for a week or so and then Prudhoe, just to say we've been there.
Don't yet know if we want to drive up to Prudhoe Bay. Maybe better to take a tour and save the truck/camper?

Actually it's good to hear the diesel price is still around $4.00. We pay $3.65 in Tucson. Kinda hoped we could average not more than $4.50 -$5.00 across the trip. Guess we'll see how that pans out.

Thanks for the comments. Appreciate any info directed to sites/experiences/hwy condition/weather available to 2 old folks on their last long drive about. Is there anything along the Richardson Hwy worth seeing?

Cheers
