Well, our time in Alaska is about to come to an end. Already the days are getting noticeably shorter and the temperatures are cooler then we care for these days. Tomorrow we plan to pull out and begin our southerly migration to the warmer climates of Miami and then it's off to Saint Thomas and Saint Maarten with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. But before this can happen we still need to drive 3300 miles to Eastern Washington University to drop our eldest son off at college and then a round about trip through the southwest and across Route 66 before arriving in Miami sometime around January 2012.
Our ride will once again be the 2011 Chevy Silverado running the 285/70/17 Cooper AT3 tires and the test will be the grueling Alaska Highway and the Cassiar Highway through Alaska, the Yukon and Northern British Columbia. We will be pulling our new just completed polished aluminum diamond plate trailer so maintaining a steady speed and obeying the posted speed limits should be no problem.
So far we are extremely happy with the new Cooper Discoverer AT3 Tires mounted on our new Chevy Silverado 1500. Be sure to check back as we update our trip and recount the Drive to Alaska and back in 2011. Well, back to packing as we hope to leave sometime tomorrow afternoon.
