3956 miles? no worries!

Below you'll (hopefully) find a link that shows my route to Alaska. I'm figuring it will take about six days of driving 12 hours a day. But I'm ready! I've got 5293 songs on my ipod to keep me rocking out. And I just bought a CB radio to install in my truck, which ought to be interesting. And of course I'll probably be calling every person in my phone, twice. I think the conversations will go something like this, "Hey its Rob. I'm driving through Horse's Buttcheek, North Dakota and I'm bored. Tell me your whole life store. Start at age 2. Go!"

That's map is crazy. I never realized Alaska was that far away, or that South Dakota was really below North Dakota.

Have fun. Looks like driving to Hawaii would actually be a shorter trip.

By far, my favorite direction is:

At the traffic circle, take the 3rd exit onto Alaska Hwy, passing through Yukon Territory

Distance: 1,169 Miles
