Thanks for the feedback. I have Churches' book and a hard copy from Days End for overnight stops. I was just wondering about the benefit, didn't know about it until 60 minutes ago so no loss and save some $$.

HaI just pulled out my 2017 Milepost and discovered there is an online version but only if you have an up-to-date Milepost. Has anyone used the online version? Is it worth my buying a new book? I figure the online version is only good when we have internet which will probably be sorely lacking except in towns. We are planning a fair amount of boondocking. Thanks

If you can find the food on Amazon make sure it is on the Canadian Amazon also. In Canada that is the Amazon you will be dealing with. Just FYI.

I didn't mean it like that. Sorry. Thousands of people cross the border each year with no problems. You find the people who have problems are the ones that post so you think that is the "norm". It is not, 99.9% of the people have no problem crossing any border, especially Canada. Over the years we have crossed a dozen times. Once we answered the basic questions we were waved through. Going both ways................... You are worried about going into Canada, what about coming back to the US, have you checked that?

We have taken chicken cat food across several times with no problem. We have never been searched, some people have an attitude and raise the red flags. I also make sure DW is driving. I would take the food and if you lose it, you lose it. 20 kilos is not 2 pound but 44 lbs. 2.2 lbs/kg. That should be plenty unless you are planning a couple months in Canada. I think you are overworking this.

Why would you think dog food would be a problem? Never heard of any problems or even asking if anyone had pet food. Most of the time they don't even ask if you have pets. General questions are guns and liquor(maybe).

I didn't know you could order prescription dog food from Amazon...........Are you sure you can do this?

Let me warn you about Pet Smart. Each one doesn't necessarily carry the same prescription products. We learned this the hard way. Call before you go to any Pet Smart to see if they have what you need in stock. Also, when we had a prescription card it expired in 6 months. FYI.

Why carry the food with you? We keep an extra bag but order our food from Chewy. I don't know if Chewy does prescription dog food but someone does...............Just need to plan where to pick it up. Many cgs will hold packages for you. If not, you pick the pkg up from UPS or Fedex office.

Flexibility is the key. In one 3 week period a few years ago we experienced winds from a hurricane that was offshoret Asateague, drove down to the Outer Banks and were evacuated from the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We just left, 2 hurricanes in 3 weeks was too much FYI-th second hurricane flooded the main rod at Cape Hatteras and I understand from friends that people were kayaking on the road..............Be flexible..............

It goes from Eastport on the border north.............

Thanks. I've entered you in my spreadsheet............

Thanks...

We are interested in traveling to Dawson Creek on the west side of Banff/Jasper looks like it would be CA 95 partway. Any comments would be appreciated.

Huh?????

First thing we did was pull our sofa out and put in 2 Lzyboy recliners!!!!

We were there on a Caravan in 2008 and never felt we had enough time to really explore. We didn't miss anything important just felt we wanted more. This time we will go to Glacier Bay, fly over Denali etc. Will do some tourist spots, loved the reindeer farm and the museum in Anchorage, so much more to see this time. Planning to do a lot of boondocking, 6 days boondocking, 1 day in camp.

We are going to Alaska this year and plan to be in Alaska in early June, staying to mid-late August, maybe a bit longer. We are starting from Phoenix or Tucson in late March. A nice leisurely trip.

Rather than get involved with potential legal fees I would just move the accounts.

We opened up Ira and brokerage act at vanguard in July. No problems with addressing

You can just go to the library and get a book.

Escapade has live entertainment as do most of the rallies. You could give a seminar on Magic.

I would look at allstays.com and check off "open all year". You will also find many Mom and Pop cgs along the road that might be open, they do not advertise. Once you get out of the north you should be fine. Since you are new to this you will be able to travel 250-350/day without exhausting yourself. Since this is a new trailer and you are buying it from the factory they should have a small cg to stay at, probably only electric, to check out the trailer. Take advantage of it for at least 1-2 night. Nothing worse than getting on the road and something not working or your not knowing how to use/start it.

I towed a uhaul once and finding parking at a motel was a challenge, had to park several times in a truck stop several blocks away. Since they are driving out they could take basics with them.
