Thoughts of driving the AlCan Highway have existed for several years. I started actually talking about it as my list of unvisited states got quite short. It should have appeared in the "Just Seeds" list some time ago and there is a pretty good change it won't be just a seed very long. Unlike most road trips, this is one where the destination really is as important as the journey. Created in the 1940s in response to World War II, it is the road that first made driving to Alaska possible. Alaska was not a state at the time but it is now and is one of three I've yet to visit. People often fly there or ride cruise ships along the coast but that's not for me. I said the destination is as important than the journey. Not more important. Driving there seems to be a pretty big deal so I best be getting to it before too many birthdays come along.
