rando, Thanks for the suggestions and the links. I will look into the mounts. I initially considered programming a dual band HAM radio and looked into it, however, after thinking about it and reading the Federal regulations for GMRS I prefer to operate within the regulations (which require...

We will be travelling in our Truck/FWC camper along with another couple and their Truck/FWC camper. Last trip through Canada that we did together we had problems using cell phones to communicate truck to truck due to lots of dropouts as well as challenge of international cell plans. For our...

Fuel cells promise to be the ultimate non-nuclear power source. That promise has been in place since they were first invented in 1839 and the first commercial fuel cells built in 1932. I first heard of them in the 1970's (aerospace business) and from the 1970s to the present I have listened...

Frank, You comment is useful. I don't know much about the ships yet. We will travel on the MV Kennicott for two legs of our trip North. Belingham to Ketchikan and Juneau to Whittier. The Ketchikan to Juneau leg will be on the MV Matanuska. We have cabins booked for all the legs but the...

Canada renewed the border closure on April 21 for another month. They are reviewing the closure and deciding on renewing it on a month to month basis. I have read several reports, supposedly from people who understand Canadian politics, that they expect the Canadian border to open no earlier...
