Alaska road trip

Sam got a job up north and I accompanied him for the drive. Without a doubt the best road trip to date!
Waiting at the border.

My first T-Rex ride ever

This actually didn't help pass the time at all, but it did get all that monopoly money out of my pocket.

Santa is a little different up in northern BC


BEAR
The mountains started to get pretty big on day 2

The Liard Hot Springs moose

There wasnt any help at the lodge so Sam and I got the OK from Brian to do our own cooking!

Hilarious cooking times

Go to these hotsprings, it was soooooo deep

Timber Bison, and here is where I begin my apologies for a crappy camera.
There are only 250 of these and 20 get run over a year.

Caribou

Sam's Uhaul made me laugh my ass off

Muncho Lake

Some of these lines went through

We pulled into Skagway on day 3 and the first thing we saw was a bush plane.

It was the best idea of my life! Ridding SHOTGUN

Paul the pilot a great multitasker.

10-4 1 Niner

Sea level to 7000', Chilcoots


Haines Tidal flats

Most skiers you see at the Haines airport arent this pumped, and I didnt even have skis

unreal scenery

Good glacier viewing

I was like a kid in a candy store

Sam in front of Rainbow Glacier

Headed back

Skagway

Coming in hot

Perfect landing

View from the hotel

Same making friends

My new hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the Red Onion there was a sex trivia game going on.
The bartenders showing the rusty trombone

ARGHHHHH

The mullet with team Whitehorse/Denmark

My POV

Sam's

Rough next day cured on the bike

Sam thuggin it

He's a biker at heart

Sweet digs

Cought the ferry to Juneau from Skagway

Whales along the way

Good times out on the sea


Wildlife witnessed- deer, eld, moose, t-rex, giant beaver, whale, seal, dolphin, eagle, timber bison, black bear, and probably some other things i alreadt forgot

Alaska definently a must see for everyone.
