Description

This episode of the podcast will cover the entire trip from Kansas City to Fairbanks, Alaska in pretty general terms, in some ways.  In the upcoming episodes we will really dive in and discuss the Northwest Overland Rally, the trailer that we built specifically for this trip, and we also have loads and loads of product reviews from the trip.  The episode is a bit of a marathon at over 90 minutes but it covers a lot of information and experience from driving the Alaska Highway.  Hopefully you enjoy the summary but look for more info in the written trip reports that will be posted on the website here very soon.   If you have made the drive to Alaska from the lower 48 before, please chime in and send us some feedback.
