Default Alaska trip in June

Off to Alaska! My wife and I are planning to leave from Ankeny, Iowa on or about June 14th heading for Alaska. Thought I would see who has made the trip or lives along the general route and has suggestions for must see/do destinations. We have no definite schedule to keep and plan on at least 3 weeks and maybe more. If anyone along the way is getting close to first flight of a taildragger and wants some instruction in an RV-6 let me know

Some likely stops will be Regina to clear customs and stay the night, Edmonton, Fort St. John, Whitehorse, Palmer, Talkeetna.

Does anyone know if there is a pre-packaged chart kit for the Alcan section on up to Anchorage?

What other must have items would you take along?

The identifiers listed below can be copied into runwayfinder.com for routing and names of airports showing the planned route.

ikv; mot; regina; cxec; cxzu; CYDQ; CYXJ; CYYE; CYQH; CFY5; CYZW; CYXY; CYHT; CYXQ; PAOR; 6K8; Slana; PAGK; PAZK; PASP; PAAQ; PAMR.

My coded email address is : jdelveau a t m s n d o t C omm


I hope when we get back I can post a travel write-up with some pictures.
