Re: Alaska or Bust
This trip sounds great! I have heard of Model A'rs taking this big trip of a lifetime. Tell me, Does one average 45-47 mph and about 13 - 15 mpgs? Sound undaunting for sure.

Re: Alaska or Bust
Congratulations on your fantastic voyage. Had I known you were going I would habe begged to go along.
Alaska is the one state my trusty 28 Tudor lacks in her "bucket list". maybe next year. I will follow along and live vicariously through your posts. Good Luck. I'll log on tomorrow to see where we traveled today. Richard Anaheim CA |

Re: Alaska or Bust
According to your blog: Our Alaskan Adventure you say you will be in Fairbanks tomorrow, does this mean Fairbanks Thursday or on Friday and how long are you planning on being in the Interior. I am in hopes of swapping out the radiator on my Phaeton tonight or tomorrow. I can give you my cell number if you like.
Darryl in Fairbanks I also posted this message on "What a Day" |
