What is the earliest you experienced road dogs would leave for Alaska?

May have some time on my hands, in the next 30 days, and have an itch to fresh fish.

Your input is appreciated.

This is from the Milepost website,
[ul][*]May: fewer people on the road, can be fine weather.[*]June: long days averaging 20 hours of daylight.[*]July: busiest month on the highway, can also be the wettest.[*]August: trees start to turn colors, nights get chilly.[*]September: fall colors, first frost and snow possible in some areas, uncrowded ferries. [/ul]
I don't think going before May would be recomended.

Great question! My wife and I are planning to ride our hogs to Alaska in mid June. Everything I read indicates that you might be a few months early. You might also need more than a month to make the trek worthwhile. Goodluck.....Del Mar, Ca

Looks like common opinion is no later than May

Ride Safe
