Summer 2025 - Gulf Coast to the Last Frontier
Gulf Coast to the Last Frontier. We left the warm water at Orange Beach and pointed the rig north, crossing the heartland through Indiana and out onto the wide-open plains of North Dakota. The country only got bigger from there — into British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon, where the road empties out and the wild takes over, until we finally crossed into Alaska. The way home traced the Pacific coast down through Oregon and Washington, trading glaciers for evergreens.
