Hi All,
Back story: My father-in-law passed away late last year. He was a marine geologist and and expert in seasonal ice flow. He spent much of his working life above the arctic circle and Antarctica. Much of his research was in the Beaufort Sea in his boat North of Barrow and Prudhoe Bay. Many times he would shelter for the night at Cross Island.
This takes us to the trip we're planning. He requested that his ashes be scatter at Cross Island.
My wife and I thought it might be a good opportunity to make it more of an adventure than it already is and take the camper. One thought was to drive to Washington State and take the ferry to Alaska. Another thought is to drive Al-Can Hwy to Anchorage.
Has anyone done this? Am I crazy for thinking about it. The trip would be mid- to late July into August.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
John
