Leaving Key West, FL on May 15, 2023 and arriving in the Arctic Circle on Aug 8, 2023
After completing my previous road trips, which had me on and off the road for about 3 to 4 months at a time over the past two years, I found myself contemplating my next adventure. Alaska, a place I had never explored, beckoned to me as an exciting destination. During my research, I stumbled upon a fascinating possibility: the opportunity to embark on a road journey to the Arctic Circle. The moment this idea took shape, I knew deep inside that this was the adventure I had been searching for. It was a decision made with unwavering excitement: ‘THAT’s what I want to do!’
A part of this journey will take me from one corner of the country to the other. The plan is to drive from Key West, FL to the Arctic Circle in Alaska.
I’ll be periodically adding posts to this thread from the journey.
