Not sure if anyone is looking for partners here, but I would be all over getting in on a trip like this!!!
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

I'm serious!  I just did a little research and can't believe what I'm seeing.  A truck and trailer from Bellingham, WA to Haines, AK is $6,190  that can't be right  :dunno:
I thought it would be perfect taking a ferry over to AK with truck and trailer. 

Let me know and we can start having conversations about it and throw around some ideas for 2014.  If I don't do it soon I will never do it.

Check the price from Prince Rupert it goes down a fair amount, but adds drive time  :twocents: Also if you do the ferry get a stateroom they are not that much and worth every penny  :)

We should set up a meeting or just throw some ideas together via PM or email.  I would be all in and make it a trip of a lifetime.  I could take probable 3 1/2 weeks to 4 weeks off for this trip.

Thanks, I'll check that out.  Can't people just go into their trailer on the Ferry, I mean after hanging around on deck why not just crash in the nice trailer  :dunno: :dunno:

I could push 3 weeks!  Looks like we have three so far.  I was told no people around the vehicles on the ferry.
