This ad caught my eye in the local trader:
"1983 Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel, tan color, bought new, garage kept, never
wrecked, excellent gas mileage, driven on weekends, ex. condition. $4000 OBO.
803-786-4616."
This car is not in Seattle.
This car is in South Carolina. No interest or affiliation, but if someone is
interested I would go look at it.

We would, of course, fish for, catch and then eat salmon. Often.

I'm confused...is it summer 2006 or 2007 that you would be free?
Things to do along the way: There would be no shortage of those, the
problem would be time. For me, I want to have driven to the Arctic Ocean
(ok, within 3 miles of it and taken a tour bus the rest of the way). I
would want to subordinate everything to reaching the goal...and since there
will inevtably be problems along the way, it might be best to plan the vast
majority of the extra stuff for the way back, so as not to endanger the
goal of reaching the Arctic Ocean.
Personally, I like historical things...hiking would be neat...taking in
local scenery, etc. I really don't care...I'll pass on Worlds of
Fun/Disneylandish stuff. But I think we should be sure that the side
attractions add to the enjoyment of the experience of the ultimate goal:
Arctic Ocean and back. If we climb rocks, I'll watch...although sitting
atop a tor sounds like fun.
My two cents.

This coming summer I've got a co-op job in Huntsville, and I graduate
the semester after that (in December '06). So summer of '06 is where I
could be doing anything.

Is it even possible to do the trip from Seattle to Alaska and back in
two weeks? Looked it up, and its 2,300 miles from Seattle to
Fairbanks... so it is physically possible, but I also have to factor in
that its 2,600 miles from my house to Seattle (!!). The site I looked
at suggested a ferry from Alaska back to Seattle... if we have a two
week trip limit that seems to be a pretty promising idea. If somebody's
car got left behind though would mean they would have to go up again to
get it though...

Sounds good, I like the OkieQ idea Kaleb threw out for the east coast
meeting point. Helps that I almost drive by his house on the way out
though ;)

What all activities is everyone up for along the way? I think a lot of
light hiking would be great. I've done rock climbing in a gym, and
think the Yukon couldn't be a better place to climb a real rock.
Wouldn't do it without some kind of organization or person who really
knew what they were doing though. Once in Alaska I imagine there is
quite a bit of sightseeing to do as well!
What do you guys have in mind?
John
