One truck. One camper.
Four months. North to Alaska.
We’re trading the everyday routine for mountain roads, trout water, national parks, wildlife, small towns and whatever stories happen between Rochester and Alaska. This is where family and friends can follow along.
Al, Jill, Gunner & Harley
Retirement is taking the long way north. Al and Jill are trading routine for mountain roads, trout water, national parks, small towns and whatever stories happen in between—with Gunner and Harley along for the ride.
The Silverado HD, Grand Design Imagine and Flycraft make up the rolling base camp for a four-month expedition through the American West, Canadian Rockies, Yukon and Alaska.
