Alaska Road Trip

We recently took a little road trip around our home state ~ Alaska!  This little road trip basically took us from Southern Minnesota to Southern Missouri, over to Kansas and back through Iowa.  And really we just drove from Fairbanks to McCarthy on the Richardson Highway to Anchorage on the Glenn Highway, to Hope on the Sterling Highway and back to Fairbanks on the Parks Highway. These highways have numbers too and if I put them in order of number traveled it goes like this, highway 2, 4, 1 and 3.

Some of the road maps of this great state show that we have up to 12 highways but the Milepost lists the major roads as there being 11.  Okay I can buy that information. 

When looking at this map keep in mind that to drive from Fairbanks to Anchorage on the Parks Highway (No.3) it will take you eight hours.  This included one stop for gas and two pit stops to stretch your legs.

In the next few weeks I will be posting photos from this trip and telling a few stories.  We hope you will join us on our Alaska vacation and then start planning one of your own!
