[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Kudos to several of our viewers who noticed the bike laying down before we got to the campground. That was a lunch stop just a few miles from where the gentleman notified us of it dragging on the ground. Great job! This community is the best and we appreciate you guys looking out for us. LOL. Apparently, we need all the help we can get! Thank you

[@teresaworthley2368]

Thanks for the drive back and forth on the Denali Hwy!! We weren’t able to go last time we were there. It is just beautiful!!! Enjoy your travels and stay safe!

I love the Denali Highway. Last year We took a week to drive across pulling our 30' Travel Trailer. Such an amazing road and the views along the south side of the Alaska Range were breathtaking the entire way. I lived here in Alaska for almost 50 years, and I am still in awe of this state. The Denali Highway is a popular hunting area for both Moose & Caribou. I'm an amateur nature & wildlife photographer, and one of my shots I took ended up in a Gallery in Milan Italy. Keep enjoying your journey.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That is quite an accomplishment to have your photo published. Congratulations! We loved the area and will return at some point to spend more time. Thanks for sharing.

[@rongenung]

This video is beautiful. The Paxson Lake Campground is a winner. I wish one could fish the pristine lake. I have often wondered what precautions David and Sondra take regarding bears. Bears in this region would cause me to be hyper-alert and cautious. The lynx encounter was fantastic!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you so much. We have bear spray but as long as Sondra has her camera ready...the animals like to hide! LOL. Paxson Lake is a beautiful area for sure.

[@markditter7739]

When you drove past Tangle Lakes all I could remember was the billions of mosquitoes when I was there in the late 1980’s. We used to drive south from Fairbanks and fish on those lakes. We would try to get a very Smokey fire going to keep them away but inevitably, we would wear head nets and keep gloves on to avoid the little buggers. I’m enjoying your videos as it reminds me of my six years in Fairbanks.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Mark. They can definitely be pesky little buggers! We have found an essential oils compound with lavender in it which seems to work as well....and I smell good! LOL.

Thank you, Phyllis. We were very fortunate to see as much wildlife as we did but then we were driving fairly slowly so that helped.

[@EricN6412]

I love your videos.I have taken many of the routes you are enjoying. I have done the Dalton highway and the Denali Highway. It is my favorite road in Alaska. Some of the relics you saw were from gold mining. I took some of the roads that turn off the highway and they lead to some amazing places. One took us to an active gold mine high up in the Alaska Range. Next time I recommend you unhook Artemis and explore the back country on the highway!!! Well worthwhile!!!

Wonderful video guys! It was great to see all the footage from the Denali Highway--could have watched the lynx forever and the mountains were incredible! Really appreciate how you are traveling some of the less traveled roads. Nice shots of the fighters at Eielson AFB--surprised you could get away with parking by the side of the road by the runway. When we drove by there were lots of signs warning drivers not to stop. BTW, Eielson was from North Dakota--his childhood home is marked in Hatton, North Dakota. Would make for an interesting stop as you reenter the lower 48. Safe travels!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's a neat bit of info, Pete. Thank you. We looked for warning signs but there were none so we stopped for less than a minute. I love military aircraft and when I saw the F35's and F16 flying and on the flightline, I just couldn't help myself.

Starting to plan a trip up the Alcan Hwy this August '24. How did you research the camping along the way in British Columbia and the Yukon? Any help would be appreciated.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We purchased The Milepost publication for our trip planning. Great resource with a ton of useful information. Having traveled up there previously also helped but getting the Milepost book was a big help. We also got the Tour Saver app for Alaska which saved us money on tours but also gave us some ideas on things to see and do.

[@MaryDomiano]

@@bigtruckbigtravels Thank you so much, I already ordered the Milepost and have already downloaded the Tour Savior App. Got both of these ideas from watching your KZbin videos'. Thanks

[@NancyLiedel]

I was in it. The problem is between the chair and the keyboard. However, be nice to your wife. Lol!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

LOL...very true! Thank you....and I am always nice to my wife....but we do like to poke fun at one another from time to time.

Excellent footage, but the water can't really that cold to not take a swim .

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

LOL...🤣😂🤔🤣😂 Oh yes it can!

[@abbylea2359]

Have you done the drive across Canada?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Not yet, Abby. We thought about it but maybe next time. We want to be able to spend some time in places like Thunder Bay and we are running out of "weather" for this year! LOL. Thanks for watching.

[@janeeilderts468]

Are your friends still traveling along?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hi Jane, not friends just some acquaintances from an HDT rally a few years ago. They followed their own path into Alaska once we crossed the border. Not sure where they are as they don't keep in touch.

dont laugh problems with mosquitos , in an emergency issue, always carry , DONT LAUGH, queen size pantyhoses, each pack is per person, now the legs of the pantyhose is for the hands to the arms , up to the shoulders, and if your wearing a wide brem hat the waist portion goes over the top of the hat laying on the brem of the hat, and a rubber band over your head down to your neck, i know this is funny looking and since you protecting your self its a good thing. for you hat on the top inside place a LAVENDER DRYER SHEET ON THE TOP , MOSQUITOS HATE THE SCENT AND WILL GO AWAY? essential oils in non scented lotion on the hands , face arms even legs , lavender, cedarwood, peppermint, tea tree, scent test a small amount so you can not hurt your skin, CEDARWOOD IS THE BEST BUT FOR MOST PEOPLE IT BURNS THE SKIN, A PLANTED CEDARWOOD TREE WHEN CAMPING IS THE BEST, LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER POURED OVER THE PLANT AND IT WORKS THE BEST WHEN CAMPING, THE PLANT CAN BE STORED AWAY FOR 1 DAY THEN OUT SIDE FOR THE WATERING?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

don't laugh...don't laugh....actually, that makes a lot of sense...not sure I could wear it but I like the way you're thinking. We have some lavender spray we got in Washington from a lavender farm we overnighted and it does seem to work! Thank you for the suggestions.

If I have paid attention I believe you folks lived in Texas prior to starting your RV journey? Also, David seems to be very technical savvy as well as mechanically adept. He also knew his airplanes at Eilison Air Force Base, I'm thinking that his career was in engineering, perhaps with NASA?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Ray for the comments and being very kind. We lived in TX for a few years and decided to domicile there when we retired since we really loved Texas. I'm definitely not an engineer but I do enjoy military aircraft. Appreciate your watching the channel.

Hey I’m a trucker and I’m not to far away I’m in dead horses in my peterbuilt and the dalton highway is sloppy and a nightmare because of the rain

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I bet it is messy! We were very fortunate to get out before it really started to rain and get sloppy. Stay safe on those roads. Appreciate what you do. Thank you.

[@trump4life537]

@@bigtruckbigtravels thank you and yes very lucky that you got out of here in time

[@jamesmartin7075]

Have you guys ever taken your RV on a ferry?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Not yet...but stick around....

[@kimberlyangelo4240]

Just wondering does.anyone know who is following them in the other large rv with a blue run about?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks for watching Kimberly. Just some people who asked to tag along because they couldn't plan Alaska by themselves, so they followed us to Glen Allen. They finally decided to strike out on their own after a few days in Alaska. Appreciate your comments. Hope you're having a great summer.

[@patrichardson8279]

Do you belong to Coast to Coast? And if so, how do you like it??

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We do not, Pat. We are Thousand Trails members and enjoy the parks....it would be nice if more of them were updated but it works fine for us.

[@joesutherland225]

To bad your not fishers some of the best salmon fishing anywhere.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I know, Joe. But we may "dip our toes in" later next month..maybe. Down on the KP.
