Driving directions?
 

Whats up people? Its been a while since I have posted here. Hope everyone here is well. Right now I am in Copper River, Alaska working for Princess Wilderness Lodge. I am having a blast! It is so beautiful here, I cant begin to tell you all. I am about 4 hours north I believe of Anchorage. Anyway, let me get to the point. I am going to be here for 5 months and I flew out here. I have realized that since the nearest town (Glenallen) is miles and miles away, that I really need my car. SOOOOOOOO, I am flying back down to Los Angeles and I am going to drive my car back up here. I have been searching online for driving directions and I cant find anything. All of the sites I have been visiting tell me that they cant route it. I was hoping I could find some place on the internet that could route it. Los Angeles (90035) to Copper Center (99573). If you guys know of a site please do let me know. Thanks so much.

Take I-5 :D

holly crap 3200 miles ? i'd be up for the drive:yes:

hot shit man.... thats going to put some serious mileage on your GSR.... cant you get it shipped? Should cost like 300-400 dollars.

No way. My family has had several cars shipped from Cali -> Oregon, at a minimum of $600-$700 a shot.

Thanks for the directions. I really apreciate your help. I talked to this one guy who is here and he said that it takes about 3-4 days. I do plan on starting early like at 6:00 and plan on driving until at least 8 or 9, maybe even later. Good stuff...

o serious? damnit.. hmm.

Wow.. Thats a Haul! :o

damn 6-700 ? that's a lot. i can get my car shipped to romania and back when i go on vacation for $800, but it will take 2 weeks to get there and 9k miles

Seriously dude, buy a frikkin Atlas or something and map it yourself. Does anybody know how to use a map anymore???? :confused:

So what's at your lodge? Any other good work up there? Why only 5 months?

I wanna go to Alaska. ;(

b

wow...thats alot of driving....good luck..

:yes: wear your seatbelt! & we miss you. (Or I do at least...);)

why don't you just buy a beater for up there and sell it when you leave?

I wanna go to Alaska too :yes:

I want to taking a plane to go there, than the car.

Its cool that you're having a good time. I know someone who's going up to a hunting lodge to waitress for a few months this summer. She gets free room, board, etc. too :eek: That would be great to live up there for a while.

im with none... just buy a beater and dont put miles on the GS-R

I just did that. Me and 2 other guys got this old jeep for 860. We all put in some money and now we have a car. We are abusing this car so bad its not even funny. There is some snow up here and some places it is slick. We went hydroplaning...ahhh good stuff. BY THE WAY...IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN WORKING UP HERE CHECK OUT PRINCESSLODGES.COM AND FILL OUT AN APPLICACATION FOR "COPPER RIVER PRINCESS LODGE" THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW HOSTS AND A FEW SERVERS. THEY WILL FLY YOU DOWN BUT WILL DEDUCT THE AMOUNT IN 3 PAYCHECKS...:)

I miss you too Quin!;) :yes:

:) I thought you forgot me...:yes: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

Never cutie!

can you work there for the summer? god it'd kick ass to spend a couple months in alaska...

need to get away from it all.

Actually I can, but I'd hate to be away from beautiful so cal (we're having a car meet in july) for that long... :P

HondaTypeJ,

You can a take a plane to Alaska than the car cuz the plane is faster.
