GREAT video Mortells. I went from my home in Charleston, West Virginia to Prudhoe Bay beginning on August 19 last year in my Jeep. Arrived in Deadhorse on August 30 and did the polar plunge the next morning. The Dalton Highway is epic, scary and spectacular. I'm glad I did it but would never do it again. Great times in Glacier National Park, Dawson City, Yukon, Chicken, Alaska and so many more on the way to the Dalton. My adventure was 12,800 miles. I'm jealous of your trip and have hopes of doing the whole thing to Ushuaia one day. Safe travels folks.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it and could watch it from a perspective of having already been there. It's such a cool drive up to Prudhoe Bay! Some people think it's anticlimactic but we really enjoyed it! Happy adventures to you!

Beautiful! The still shots at the end were a great touch. Happy trails.

Looks like an awesome experience! Nice work getting in the cold water, hopefully it’s a little warmer at the other end of the road! I really liked the photos added in at the end. Enjoy the trip.

Thank you, we appreciate it! Believe it or not, that cold plunge was easier than getting in the Kenai River further south. The rushing river water hits different 🥶

Brailin! So nice to see your face pop up in the comments. Thank you :) We put a lot of effort into this video. We're still figuring out if we want to do a more casual vlog style or more videos like this one. Perhaps a mixture.. who knows! Hoping all is well with you!

If you're still in Alaska, be sure to drive over to Valdese. The town itself isn't anything to write home about, but the road getting there is spectacular!! Rated as one of the top 3 scenic drives in the world and easily the most beautiful I've ever been on. I've ridden a motorcycle in Alaska a couple of times and, not only is it a long way from anywhere, but it's hard to see it all. Do it while you're there. Wrangles-St. Elias National Park, the Kennecott mine, the Homer Spit, Denali - it's all amazing!! Have fun. We just watched Itchy Boots ride her motorcycle north and we look forward to traveling along on your adventure south.

Thanks so much for the recommendation! We left in late September and had planned to drive there. Unfortunately we got sick and had to sit still instead. We will be sure to do it next time we're there. We've heard it's stunning, as you say!

We are so excited to follow your adventures on the PanAmerican! We are hoping to do the same trip in a few years in a similar size rig (F350 with flatbed pop up camper - still working on it though). Happy travels!!

How exciting! It really is quite a process to pull all the pieces together. We've gone through many iterations of rigs ourselves. It's hard to be patient but it'll be worth it and Alaska will still be beautiful in two years. Good luck with everything!

If you go down through Cali, stop by and see Cerro Gordo ghost town, he has a channel called ghost town living. He is a cool dude and can take you 900' down the union mine shaft
