 |
|
While back, I met a family from Argentina in a casino in Vegas.
They said they were in the middle of 8 months vacation and were driving from Buenos Aires to Alaska.
I guess it's possible? Can you drive to Juneau/Anchorage from Vegas? |

You can drive to Anchorage, but not to Juneau.
Juneau is locked by ocean on one side and mountains on the other side. The only accessable way into Juneau is either by plane or sea. |

| Doesn't look like there's any road along the coast so it must be one hell of a drive to go around Yukon Territory to Anchorage. |

re: Juneau. They're building a highway that links to the Can-Am Hwy to the east over the mtn. range. The folks in Juneau are pissed (angry) b/c they fear an onslaught of Winnebagos. Look for it soon! |

That would royally bite when that is built.
One of the most attractive features I've always thought about Juneau was that it wasn't connected to any highway system. |

The Alaskans don't seem to mind taking money from the federal government, but don't like the federal government telling them where they can't let people drill for oil. Ungrateful *beeps*. |

Anchorage, easily. Though, why you'd go there, I don't know... unless it's a place to fill up the gas tank on the way to the Kenai.
Driving straight through (assuming you had mutliple drivers & switched off), you could get to Fairbanks from Vegas in about 4 days.
BTW... Argentina to Alaska? That sounds like a cool road trip. |
