The drive to Alaska

I thought I'd give you guys some perspective on how far the drive to Alaska is. Take a look at this mapquest link. Go all the way to the bottom to the map.The letters A-D are where we've stopped and E is Anchorage, Alaska. "A" is Vancouver, "B" is Whistler, "C" is Cache Creek. Those were all short drives, so it's ok that they don't look that far from each other. But, when you look at "C" to "D", Dawson Creek, and know that was a 10 hour drive, you see how incredibly far away Alaska really is. Most people think once you get to the Canadian border you're most of the way there....
