Hey Kevin,
Dont know when I will be going yet, most likely earlier then later. Dont have a job locked down for sure yet but I sure something will come thru. I have applied at coldfoot , Denali, Kenai, all over I guess. But I would be cool with getting to Alaska early and going anywhere before my job started. I would like to take it slow going up and see some of canada but either way works. Where do you live???

Awesome, I worked at Coldfoot, it was my first seasonal gig. and I may be working up toward denali this year. I live in St Cloud MN just a few mile down the road from the twin cities. I wouldl ove to take my time getting up there my g/f will be coming but she needs to graduate first so i was planning on getting up there before she does.

Yes, but I have to be there by April 8 and Lord only knows what the road will be like....I am driving for Grayline and the training will take awhile...and I want to live in my truck when I am not driving, so it has to go with me....Susan

I have to be in Fairbanks by April 8th...so it will be a fast trip depending on weather conditions...the weather is pretty unforgiving..and hopeful most of the animals will still be bedded down...but the road is rough in places...there is a hot springs 2 1/2 hr east of Watson Lake..but other than that....flat wild country...until you are almost in the US again....and lots of snow the landscape will be pretty blick......

I am due in Denali May 8 but would like to spend a week or two with my daughter in Anchorage before heading to park. Will probably drive roommate to Bozeman end of April and am looking for a ride from there around that time. My old car will be lucky to make it to Montana.
