My friend Korby and I were at a house party in the mission, and the house had this map on the wall. We noticed that there was a road that led to Alaska.

A month later, after we had somehow managed to convince 2 more friends to join us, we drove to Alaska. It took a week to get up there (driving most of the time), and then a week to get back (but we took the ferry from Haines, AK to Bellingham, WA).

It was an awesome trip, and I'd definitely do it again... but probably take more time.
