Well, actually, over halfway. The approximate distance from Austin to Anchorage is 4200 miles (the way we are going). We are currently staying at the St Albert Kinsman RV park just north of Edmonton. From here we have just under 2000 miles to go. Here is our spot, overlooking the river, taken around 10:15!

All this started about 3 weeks ago when we left Austin. This was our cute little spot there:

Our next stop was the North Texas Airstream Commmunity in Hillsboro TX. It was an odd feeling to be somewhere else after spending over 3 months in the Austin area. But we had to get moving toward Alaska. The plan is to head basically due north to Minot ND and enter into Saskatchewan.

Keeping with our normal 200 miles a day (sometimes more, sometimes less), we ended up the next night in Lawton OK at the Comanche Nation Casino. They have about 4 sites that have 30amp electric for free overnighting, you just need to register with security. Here was our spot:

Next state was Kansas but on the way we had to dodge some inclimate weather, like tornadoes and flooding!

We were watching the weather apps, radar maps and ended up at the Pratt County Veterans Memorial Campground:

Still heading northish, next state Nebraska and still being weather wary, we continue on. However there is one detour I just HAVE to make.

The Geographical Center of the Conterminous United States:

If you remember from a previous post, we had already been to the Geographical Center of California, so this was a natural. That night we stayed at a city RV park (Cozad MUNY) in Cozad, NE.

The next stop was also in Nebraska in Valentine at the Wacky West RV park:

This is where a slight direction change was in order. I determined that we should not go through Minot but head west to Montana and through Alberta to Canada. This made our next stop in Sturgis, SD. Where we were treated to a 30 minute hailstorm:

We survived that without any visible damage and continued on to Billings MT to stay at the first KOA in the KOA system. We stayed a few nights here as opposed to the single night hopping since leaving Hillsboro TX. That means we disconnected for the first time in that period. Roxie found some friends there:

We also purchased a new bed for the trailer. It is a normal queen so we have to squeeze by the ends. I will have to cut 5″ off of it one of these days:

The next stop was Great Falls MT to do some more prep for crossing over the border. I also had to repair a drawer slide that failed:

Roxie recommended a detour on the way, Glacier National Park. We found a spot for 2 nights:

On into Alberta. We had a bit of an ‘issue’ with the agent in Canada but more on that after we get back to the states, stay tuned. We ended up staying the night just Northwest of Calgary at a combination RV camp/golf course. We had a bit of weather here also:

Now we start the last portion. Almost to Mile 0 of the AlCan.
