Holy planning!!! I don't' even know what I'm doing this afternoon let alone 4 years from now wink


yes, I'm a bit of a planner. smile

the trip will be (as slated so far....) 70 days in total. Spending a week working my way to Seattle, taking the ferry to Ketchikan, then moving northwards, town by town, river by river, trout by salmon, grayling by bear, wolf by glacier, observing what happens when God decides to show off a bit. smile

On a side note.... my camper is a bumper pull hybrid with soft walls. its nice and lightweight (better mileage, easier to tow).

would you locals consider the soft walls a liability vs the local bear population? I realize they can come into danged near anything they decide to get into.... but am I asking for trouble in a soft walled camper?

(am I an idiot for trying, or a pansy for asking?)

we don't have a lot of bears in my corner of Texas.....
