Frank,
Our plan is to ferry up amd drive back. We are taking our Truck with FWC camper and pulling a covered trailer with two railroad motorcars in it, mine and a friends. They are taking their truck and FWC camper.
The Ferry trip up includes layover in Ketcikan for 4 days and Juneau for 10 days. From Juneau we have multi-day trips planned to Sitka and Glacier Bay. From Juneau we go to Haines.
From Haines our plan is to drive up to Dawson City and then come down to Anchorage via the top of the world highway.
The trip home is planned to go down through Jasper, Banff and Glacier parks.
During our 2018 trip we drove up the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, took a side trip to Stewart B.C/Hyder, AK and visited the Salmon glacier and Fish Creek overlook. From there we went to Anchorage via Whitehorse and Glenallen. The return was down the Alcan to Dawson Creek then over to Prince George and South from there.
Doing the ferry both ways would cost too much with the camper and trailer on top of the railroad motorcar tour cost.
We are realizing that there is a very real possibility we will have to cancel the trip.
We have the option of containerizing our motor cars and shipping them up and flying to/from Anchorage. But that takes away all the other parts of the trip so we probably will not take that option.
I suppose we could ship the motorcars and take the trucks on the ferry to Whittier and take the ferry back too. I need to talk that option over with the other travelers but two of them get seasick easily and the trip from Haines to Wittier is outside and can be much rougher than the inside passage.
Thanks for the suggestion just the same.
