Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com

Told in the author's personal and humorous fashion, the book unfolds with not only practical suggestions regarding safety, vehicle breakdowns, campgrounds and boondocking, but takes you on every paved and major (and a few minor) gravel roads throughout Alaska and Northwestern Canada. From the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay and the Dempster Highway to the Northwest Territories of Canada, you will experience true adventure with this solo silver gypsy.

The author combines the excitement of Alaska and Canada with flying to outlying villages for a taste of a different life; playing with the Katmai grizzlies; "mushing" real sled dogs on a glacier; and a 500-mile, wilderness canoe trip on the mighty Yukon River. Through her eyes you will feel the awe of the Aurora Borealis on a lonely section of Top of the World Highway; thrill at Mt. McKinley coming out to play; and the fun of Chicken on a Saturday night.

In these 220 packed pages can be found the needed practicality for RV travelers and entertainment for arm-chair travelers.

RVing Alaska and Canada

Customer Rating:

This is a great read if you have ever traveled through Canada and Alaska. I have driven twice to Alaska and remembered much of it while reading (although I camped in a tent each night and never ate at a resturant). Her information on what she had visited and what other things you can do are informative and very useful if you ever plan to go. I just wish the photos were in color and maybe some small maps in each chapter to follow her journeys.

Outdated	Customer Rating:
I didn't realize this book was last updated in 2002. Outdated. There isn't much coverage of Canada either.

A travels with "Charlie" type book but without the humor.	Customer Rating:
Most every sentance startrd with or contained an "I". "I had found...","I took...", "I returned to the motor home....", etc.

A happy surprise!

Customer Rating:

I expected it to be more of a "how-to" book and less of a travelog, but it was fun to read and well worth the price. My wife and I have made 4 driving trips to Alaska over the years. We traveled once in a Class C motorhome, twice in a van, and once in a Surburban pulling a small travel trailer, and we plan to return every year or 2 or 3 for so long as we are able. Even with that experience, the book was a source of good information and ideas. An index of places cited in the book would have been a plus, and it is best read with a good map in your lap, but I certainly recommend it.

Quite a ride!	Customer Rating:
This is more a "travel writing" book than an RV book, and very interesting reading. My only problem with it is that her writing style was rather jumpy - there might be several subjects and locations in one paragraph, and I often got lost as to where we were and what we were doing... Then it didn't seem to matter, I just enjoyed the ride.
