I know it's so cold there but Alaska is truly a beautiful state. I can understand why you would want to live there. God bless and safe travels. I hope your brother got his home dried in. I worked for Walmart for 18 years and when I got off I went to other stores for my shopping. There was never enough help to get everything out and they worked us to death. I retired 10 years ago and still don't shop there.

Just an fyi, there are at least 20 Three Bear Stores and gas stations in Alaska. My grandson works at one outside of Wasilla. Just in our area there is a gas station in Hiuston, store and gas station in Big Lake, store and gas station in Meadow Lakes on Pittman, gas station in Wasilla, Store and gas station on Palmer Wasilla close to Palmer, Store and gas station on KGB out of Wasilla, a store and gas station on parks up by N Birchwood on the way to Anchurage. They are accumulating more. Enjoyed your trip, my late husband and i made the trip 3 times from Missouri up and back until we moved here in 2015. We loved coming through Canada's big National Park, not sure the name but road came up the back way by all the prince townships. Thats just what i call local ones.

Wow! Anchorage is huge! I left in 1986, I worked at the Diamond Center Mall back then. When I left, there were rumors of the mall being reconstructed into 8 stories with one or two stories below ground with an ice skating rink. How fabulous that the rink was actually installed. Thank you so much for this portion of your trip. I was so lost watching it now. With the mention of the mall, I could see in my minds eye where you were, although your picture of it was wildly different, in a beautiful way. Much of Anchorage was still dirt back then. Wow! That road past the Y didn't exist in 1977. The road to your right to go to Kenai is where we lived in a very small camper park up the hill just past a laundromat on the left at the bottom of that hill. Wow! Thank u. I just remember a laundromat, a small pharmacy/store, and a phone booth by the road we used. I'm sure there were more buildings. But it was mostly raw land, dirt roads 3xcept for the highways, and not much traffic, certainly mo traffic lights back then of course. I was 16 at the time. Or maybe my directions are off. I could have confused the roads up where you were. But the Kenai/Soldotna area was one lane either directions for sure. They m, too, have of course grown.

Driving along with you I find myself looking at the road ahead as if I were driving , I have to remind myself to look around at the magnificent scenery and enjoy the ride.. clearly the roads in Alaska are better maintained than Canada roads.. nice to know your son Chris is not too far away..after than long , long drive to be so close to home and have your drive impassable must be very frustrating.. you sure left us hanging at the end..but we will be awaiting the next installment of your journey.. so appreciate your channel, it is by far my favorite❤️

I went to the Anchorage mall, we got stranded cuz our plane had birds fly into the engines so we got to explore the mall while we waited for a new plane. Went on a mission trip to Kenai and we stayed in soldotna near a mcds and a grocery store where we could get a fishing licence. That was during the summer. So wild to see the roads with all that snow!!!

Fabulous drive from NC to Home on the Peninsular, THANKYOU a million times over for sharing a part of the world I'd never see otherwise. One thing I'm surprised about is there appears to be so little difference between the northern Alaska landscape to that on the Kenai Peninsula????? I'll enjoy your next video as you show us how you overcame that huge entrance obstacle in the dark and snow storm. Much love from this Aussie Nan 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👌👍✌️👏🇺🇸
