Wow, what a first road trip! Great pictures!
I thought driving my 993 home to Colorado from California was a trip!
It is a great way to get to know your car.
Good luck with it,
Gary

Welcome and congrats!!! Wonderful story, wonderful adventure. Keep driving it and keep enjoying a wonderful auto. Now comes the slippery slope of modifications.

Great experience, thanks for sharing.
I remember being up in Northern BC (from Prince George to Whitehorse) hunting and thinking what a great road this would be to have a 993. Well, maybe some of it, because when I was there in 2005, some of the road from Fort St. John to Fort Nelson BC was loose gravel; and, logging trucks where throwing it everywhere. Never mind the two moose/car accidents I saw.
Nevertheless, great experience with a great car - doesn't get any better.

Wow! Congrats! My family took a cruise to Alaska a few years ago, and it is one of the most beautiful parts of our country. We went to Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau, and I got to go salmon fishing! Good luck with your new 911!

Awesome trip and great pics. Congratulations. I guess if you ever sell it to someone in the lower 48 you have a great sales brochure all ready to go.
When you saw the brown bear, was it in front of you or behind you? I'm not sure I would have stayed in one place long enough to take that picture.

Magnificent Car, Pics and Story! Congratulations! We live in a wonderful part of the world don't we? I have been lucky enough to travel the world and few places rival America and it's Beauty. Oh yeah, Canada ain't so bad either, eh.
