Hi all.
We are going to head to Alaska next year around the end of May or first part of June. I am looking for out of the way places I can get to with a large unit that the wife and I can ride the ATV's from. I take 2 quads and a Jeep along with us and this is a trip I have always wanted to take. We are well set up for dry camping 6 golf cart batteries, solar, inverter, gen set, 400 gal of water, ect, ect. I worked and lived in Fort St John and Dawson Creek for many years, and have worked in the Yukon many times and it is beautiful up there, I just ever took the time to enjoy it. If anyone knows of any staging areas or trail heads please let me know. We camp in Southern Alberta Rockys in many staging areas and enjoy it very much. We actually have not been i an actual camp ground in 3 years. Longditude and Latitude cord. are the best if you can. Just remember for camping areas, this is a large unit and is not 4 wheel drive, but I have been knowen to get it into some prettytight spots. If you have any ideas at all let me know because when we get close to a spot I take theJeep and check it out just to make sure I keep the rig out of trouble.

Thanks anyway, but the Milepost does not have the info I need. The info I need comes from other ATV'ers/RV'ers that have actually been there.

http://www.oohva.org/ Ive seen some good sized rigs at Brown's Camp. Go to the OHV map. Most access roads are wide gravel/logging roads in this area. For more info try http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/TSF/tsf.shtml

Sorry Bearman, I didn't look at where you were starting from. Keep the info in case you get down this way sometime.
