What do you think of late May. There would still be snow, and the road would probably still be frozen. I would love your input. We are planning on taking a F650 or similar type truck with a custom camper that is designed for arctic conditions. We will carry spares roughly 60 gallons of freshwater in heated tanks, welder, more water, arctic survival gear, plasma torch, front and rear 15,000lbs winch as well as a movable 12,000lbs winch that can be mounted on either side, front or rear to assist the main winches. 2 23.6 gal propane gas containers, solar, wind turbine, diesel generator, electric heat, radiant eclectic heat, electric heat for water and camper propane heaters for camper and water. We have basically built triple redundancy into critical systems and double into important ones. The idea is to drive to the arctic ocean, and then over several other summers drive to the tip of south America. We even have an "escape pod" in the form of a four person UTV with tracks and wheels. Still building, but the plans and most parts are in place. Planning a family trip there for 2010. however, due to school late Aug. would not work. What do you think of late May.
