FIRST LEG OF SUCHES TO TOK ALASKA

We got off to an early start this morning, which is a miracle for us. Normally we are lucky to get going by 9:30 - 10:00. There was only one problem and that was our good old Norcold 1200 refrigerator just would not work on propane, so we stopped at Camping World in Chattanooga for repairs. Due to some issues in years past, we had stopped going to this Camping World for repair or service work, but when you are desperate, any port will do just fine. Wow, what a change! These folks have really gotten their act together. They got us in did the repair and got us out rapidly, and they appeared to be quite busy. So if you need service on your RV, check with Casey at Camping World RV.

When the day starts out poorly, it usually goes downhill all day long. Today just got better and better. First the good experience with camping world and then finding the Clarksville RV park in Clarksville Tennessee. Nice clean place with excellent WiFi and friendly folks working here. So if you are near Nashville, you may want to consider stopping here.

This is what the entire trip will look like. The entire trip from Suches, Georgia to Tok Alaska will be just a tad over 4000 miles and that doesn't count the side trips Pat is sure to come up with.

This is a miniature view of our Delorme routing. We have posted the locations of proposed campgrounds, Flying J Truck stops (easy in easy out with a 35 feet long RV plus tow behind car), Walmarts (here again easy in and out) and Cracker Barrel Restaurants. We went into Google Maps and looked at each location n order to assure we could easily get in and out. know it doesn't sound like a big deal, and it isn't until you have been stuck in a gas station and had to do some fancy driving (cussing) in order to get out.
