From the RV Bookstore Traveling to Alaska by RV? Learn all about the trip in this wonderful DVD By Chuck Woodbury If you are headed to Alaska with your RV, then you probably already know you are about to experience an adventure of a lifetime. And, here's something else you probably already know: everyone you talk with about traveling the Alaska Highway has a different story to tell. "Great road," one person will say, and the next will say, "It's tough, be careful!" So who's right? Bob and Judy Howen are veteran RVers and video producers who set off in their Beaver Motorhome to learn what a trip along the Alaska Highway was REALLY like! Their 76-minute award-winning DVD reveals exactly what they experienced on their 67-day journey up the famous highway, all through Alaska, and then back to the lower 48 via the Inside Passage on the Alaska Ferry. The video is packed with scenery, essential information, and valuable tips for anyone interested in following in their footsteps. You'll learn driving conditions, how to prepare for a trip, and view the road just as they videotaped it (hint: some stretches are good, some not so good). You'll ride shotgun with the Howens as they visit communities in Alaska and in Canada along the way: Dawson Creek, Whitehorse, Dawson City, Fairbanks, and one of Alaska's most famous roadside attractions, the tiny town of Chicken (don't leave without buying a souvenir tee-shirt). Visit Anchorage, Palmer, Kenai, Homer, Seward, Valdez, Skagway and picture-perfect Haines.
The Howens discuss campgrounds along the Alaska Highway and in Alaska itself. They profile a few of their favorite ones. Travel with the personable Howens on side trips to Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords National Parks, Prince William Sound, and join the hosts as they flightsee over the magnificent Fairweather Range. Their interview with a Denali National Park ranger will help you prepare for your visit to this national treasure. Finally, join the Howens on the 36-hour ferry trip on the Inside Passage from Haines to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The DVD also provides valuable information to would-be Alaska RV visitors including preparations for border crossings, customs rules, weather, driving preparations, and attractions you won't want to miss. A bonus features is included, the splendid short film, "Bears of Katmai." Alaska By RV is $24.95
