Today is Thursday. We are leaving on Monday to begin our epic Alaska/Canada trip!

We have been working on Tramper and doing other things to plan this trip for a while now. It really feels a bit surreal that we are down to the wire before we leave.

We have three days to finish things up and load Tramper. One of our tasks has been to spray our clothes with Permethrin to help deal with the mosquitoes in Alaska. They are big and relentless. So it’s good to do everything possible to discourage them.

Permethrin remains active and helpful for six weeks or six washings, whichever comes first.

Another task that we wanted to wait to do until we were close to leaving was to install stickers and decals on Tramper

The RV2AK sticker is from a Facebook group run by a husband and wife who live in Alaska and help folks like us who are planning this type of trip. The other decals we just really wanted to put on Tramper. The sticker and decals are on both sides of Tramper, and we really love them.

While it is super hard to believe we have actually reached this point in the journey, the next post will come when we are on the road!

Until the next time!
