Hi! We started off in Portland (well, Colton really), Oregon and are headed to Homer, AK!
We've been making great progress, though slow going. We've gone 1,017 miles, figure there is another 350 to go before we're half way. Lucky me, Monkey has been doing the bulk of the driving...
This is our view of the truck this morning at Dawson Creek, it's warmed up to a balmy 30degrees from the 10 it was last night. Whew. We've been taking pictures and video along the way. Once this is all in the rear view, I'll probably be able to put something fun together.
Cross your fingers for us, the trailer has been trailing and the Cruiser has been humming along. I had to hit second a few times to get up some of these hills and because of the slick - have had some real pucker moments when passing or being passed by the big rigs. We had one small, slow moving jack knife situation leaving a rest area, getting ready to pull out into traffic (hah - there was no real traffic) and having to hit the brakes when a car appeared out of nowhere but nothing really got hurt, the spare tire on the back of the Cruiser repelled the trailer at the propane tanks.
Btw, the trailer is a 1968 Aristocrat
