    whistles damn yeah that must have been a bit of a hustle. The first few we did we never gave ourselves enough time, like 9 days to out west and back from ohio just really isn't enough to relax. Much nicer to have extra time (when work allows of course) so you can hang out for a few days at a place and take it in a bit before having to pack up and move on.

    How was Alaska?

      It was cool. Anchorage is actually a pretty fun city, great craft beer/cider/distilling scene, good food. Chill.

      Then we camped in Denali, which was good, though somewhat negatively impacted by one of the people who joined us. They had no chill, even less flexible than I am, and I make spreadsheets to plan my trips.

      But yeah, I liked it. Would definitely do the drive again, but I'd want to at least double the amount of time we took.

        Wow I was just looking at pictures of Anchorage and Denali and they look like amazing destinations. That's one big ass mountain. Guy with no chill reminds me of the first big road trip I did, ohio - california fresh outta high school. One of the friends we brought had a previously undisclosed condition of NEEDING a shower every night. Not because he smelled or anything, he was just incredibly insistent on needing an actual shower every night and was intolerably crabby the days we didn't throw down for a hotel (which was most of them).
