We do this every year, Anchorage to Seward and back. About 250 miles round trip.

Tech Question - when I click on one of the 'thumbnail' pics, I get a little box with a spinning counter. The larger pic never pops up.... Any ideas, anyone? Thanks

Me too, just go back and click on the picture a second time and it will come up. Also to go to the next one pick the next button then when the spinning comes back click previous and then next. I don't know what has changed but for me it has been that way for months.

Carl G,
I've watched a LOTS of film about ALASKA, how many DOGS would it take, to tow a disabled Model A? Could they put AAA out of bizzness"?
