15 days, 2 countries, 2 canadian provinces, 12 states, and 5488 miles! That's how long our Alaska to New York road trip took. After paying $5 a gallon for gas all the way through Canada (2400 miles) we took a left turn in Seattle and headed for home. We saw moose, elk, bison, bear, deer, fox, bald eagles, red tailed hawks, and one snake. We had the most amazing campsites in the middle of nowhere on clear mountain lakes in the Yukon Territory. We wore wigs as we drove through construction zones. We listened to elk bugling while watching the sun set over the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. We never had to pay for a campsite and only stayed in 3 shady motels along the way. I never knew how amazing clean sheets and a hot shower could possibly be!! We tried to take pictures at each state line but lost our enthusiasm once we got through the "cool" states (anything west of the Mississippi). My truck performed amazingly! Even when we went off-roading in British Columbia. I was able to get some beautiful photos which I will upload onto my flickr account soon. It was a fantastic trip with my super fun brother! I highly recommend you drop whatever you're doing, quit your job, and take off for a while. For me, I'm back in Western NY for a while to hang out with my fam. Until the next adventure...

Boy, you make hanging out with your fam sound LAME...which it's not just in case you were wondering :)

Dude...being back in New York must be exhausting. There hasn't been a new post in, well, forever.
Hope you're well!
