North to Alaska

"North to Alaska", the ultimate RV trip...it's a long drive, but what an adventure.  That's what we will try to find out this summer as we make our way North to Alaska...

We left Minnesota the end of June, driving west on I-94 across Minnesota & North Dakota, and part of Montana.  At Miles City, MT we headed north to hwy 200, following it west through Lewistown and Great Falls, MT.  At Great Falls we connected with I-15, which we took to Shelby, MT.

So far the trip was going well.  We were driving to a destination campground most every day.  There were two days we were forced to "shelter in place" as strong, gusty winds and thunderstorms moved across our path.  On those non-RV travel days, we take the car and explore the small towns nearby...that's how you find the little downtown cafe that still serves hot beef or meatloaf sandwiches, with mashed potatoes & gravy, and homemade pie!  Hardware store browsing in small towns is another past-time we enjoy...you often find things you've been looking for.

The July 4th weekend interfered some with our selection of campgrounds, as many were booked ahead for the holiday.  We still managed to find a place to park every night.

After a couple days in Shelby, MT we were ready to move into Canada.
