I have read several postings from trips to Alaska. I still have questions.
Should I put protective film on the RV and Jeep? Are the roads really that bad? I have a skirt on the back of the RV. Is that not enough?
Do I need a radiator protector that the caravans use?
I intend on spending the summer in BC & Alaska. From May 1 to September ? When should I be concerned about the snow/ice? I don't know how to drive in snow/ice (Floridian :-\).
Do I need advanced reservations for Denali, Wrangell-St Elias, Kachenmak State Park, etc... (Like the Grand Canyon)
I see glaciers near Stewart and Petersburg. Are those any better to see than the ones South of Fairbanks and in the Anchorage/Seward area?
Does anyone know how to find the cheapest tours, flight planes, and fishing boats?
I have a 12 ft porta bote w/ a 6hp motor (folding boat). Is it dangerous to put it in the bays around Alaska, or should I stick to the rivers and lakes? Any river dangerous? I would love to fish for halibut or any other sal****er species I can reach in my little boat.
Any advice on lures, bait, tackle, and type of rods?
Any other pertinent advice is greatly appreciated. I will soon have the Milepost, and I am a GoodSam and Passport America member.
Thanks,
Elena
