After soaking in the Chena Hot Springs, we bundled up and entered the Aurora Ice Museum where the indoor temperature is kept at 25 degrees F to preserve magnificent ice sculptures year-round! ❄ Looking at it from the outside, we weren't sure what to expect, but we were amazed when we walked through the doors!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Go North Episode 17 link in bio! 🔗❄⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #auroraicemuseum #icehotel #alaska #chenahotsprings #winterwonderland #iceicebaby #tourist #icecold #icesculpture #icecarving #youneedalaska #sharealaska #rvlife #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #alaskaadventure #freezingcold #fulltimerv #epicroadtrip #homeonwheels #travelstoke⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_n0RiBeCC/?igshid=388d0l1mqcfh

Have you ever been to Fort Nelson, B.C.? Did you stop in at the Heritage Museum? If you love antiques and small town history, you'll love it here. Every nook and cranny has been filled with momentos and artifacts dating back to the start of the town. We recommend asking for the guided tour to get the full experience inside and outside the museum, as the place has numerous buildings on exhibit too!⠀ #gonorth #hellobc #northernrockies #explorebc #travelnorthernbc #explorealaskahighway #explorenrrm #fnmuseum #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #mytinyatlas #museum #antiques #lifeisanadventure #locallife #rvlife #truckcamperlife #truckcamper #roadtrip #tourist #welivetoexplore ⠀ @tourismnorthernrockies @explorealaskahighway⠀ @celebratealaskahighway (at Fort Nelson Heritage Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BztrCPuBS8t/?igshid=1ps0fbt0b3c00

Pulled into this tiny roadside picnic area next to Mono Lake for lunch on our way up to Reno. We couldn’t get over how easy it was and how we would have never just swung in there with the fifth wheel like this without consulting satellite imagery 🛰 And by the way, Hwy 395 is a BEAUTIFUL drive! 🤩 #gonorth #monolake #mountains #rvingtoalaska #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #livelancelife #sponsored #alaskabound #onthemove #lifeisanadventure #travelstoke #welivetoexplore #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #rvlife #homeonwheels #fulltimerv #gorving #roadtrip @lancecamper (at Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQAJXcHEWA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1es3lsj3ludut

Walking through the towering cottonwood trees at Cottonwood Island Park, we kept our eyes out for the carvings we had been told about.  It's a bit of a scavenger hunt to find these unique faces harmlessly carved into the trees' bark by a local artist named Elmer Gunderson. ⠀ ⠀ 📽 Watch Go North Episode 20 to explore with us: link in bio 🔗🍂 ⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #princegeorgebc #travelnorth #treecarvings #park #homeonwheels #rvlife #rvingtoalaska #travelforlife #exploreeverything #hellobc #explorecanada #face #fall #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #roadtrip #greettheoutdoors #lifeofadventure @tourismpg (at Cottonwood Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9oQ8RUpSw4/?igshid=3qkuuju0aeb6

Back on the highway, we started to get into the mountains. These high peaks were counting down to winter day by day as snow marched down their flanks. More than once the temperature dipped near freezing and we even saw a snowflake or two. This drive requires that you carry chains or run winter tires from October through April, and that meant we needed to keep moving because September was nearing its end, and we had neither of these. We took a few days to make the 600km drive finding boondocking spots along the way. ⠀ ⠀ 📽 Watch Go North Episode 19 - link in bio!⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #travelnorthernbc #hellobc #cassiarhighway #stewartcassiarhighway #bcisbeautiful #discoverbc #travelbc #drive #roadtrip #homeonwheels #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #livelancelife #sponsored #boondocking #rvlife #rvlifestyle #fulltimerv #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #gorving #getoutstayout #keepexploring #letsgosomewhere #lifeisanadventure #highway @travelnorthernbc @lancecamper⠀ (at Stewart-Cassiar Highway) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uASerBBll/?igshid=1jxp5a4uxemz8

While exploring Downtown Haines, we saw a giant hammer on the main street. Intrigued, we investigated to find The Hammer Museum! 🔨⠀ This museum has thousands of hammers on display and was started in 2002 by Dave Pahl, a blacksmith and avid collector. 🔨⠀ The Hammer Museum had flexible hammers, curved hammers, gold hammers, soft hammers, big hammers, small hammers and every other kind of hammer you can think of. Being a mechanical nerd and wannabe blacksmith this museum was right up Tom’s alley! 🔨⠀ ⠀ 🔨 Watch the Hammer Museum adventure in Go North Ep. 18 - link in bio! 🔗⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #hammer #hammers #hammermuseum #hammertime #alaska #alaskalife #thingstodo #haines #youneedalaska #museum #touristtrap #blacksmith #collector #collection #rvlife #roadtrip #epicroadtrip #alaskabound #rvingtoalaska #exploremore #wondermore #roadsideattraction #homeonwheels #alaskatrip (at Hammer Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B76a3R5h9IZ/?igshid=1n6s6aa0hzevy

We almost didn't go to Haines, AK, which really isn't easily on the way to anything. Luckily, the ferry schedule lined up and we were able to book a spot last-minute to Skagway so we wouldn't have to backtrack. The drive was spectacular, and we stopped for lunch on top of Chilkat Pass with snow-capped mountains for a view! 🏔⠀ ⠀ 📽 Watch the Haines adventure in Go North Ep. 18: link in bio! 🔗⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #travelnorth #chilkatpass #haines #alaska #youneedalaska #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #livelancelife #sponsored #homeonwheels #rvlife #rvliving #fulltimerv #locationindependent #homeiswhereyouparkit #roadtrip #epicroadtrip #letsgosomewhere #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #skagway #lifeofadventure (at Chilkat Pass) https://www.instagram.com/p/B72VduMppLg/?igshid=g63q24ypygzt

Further down the road in Kluane we hiked up to Rock Glacier. We followed this beautiful trail up to the nose of a glacier-like structure consisting solely of rocks. At one time a glacier flowed down this mountain slope and got covered in falling rock debris. The ice continued to flow extremely slow, and carried the rocks down hill with it. Over the years the ice melted away but left this amazing pile of rocks that is so distinct on this hillside.⠀ ⠀ 📽 Watch Go North Episode 18, link in bio!⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #hiking #kluanenationalpark #kluane #optoutside #lifeofadventure #offthebeatenpath #wondermore #rvlife #rvlifestyle #homeonwheels #staywild #exploreeverything #travelforlife #alaskabound #rvingtoalaska #yukonadventure #makememories #exploretocreate #letsgosomewhere (at Kluane National Park and Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7xP-4QJyI4/?igshid=1vwkelum2eccq

Kluane National Park in Canada covers almost 9,000 square miles of rugged terrain and includes the second highest peak in North America called Mount Logan 🏔 which stands just 600 feet shorter than the famous Denali and holds the record for the largest non-volcanic mountain by base area on Earth! The park stretches all the way to the Alaskan border that it shares with Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. It is a part of the larger Kluane / Wrangell–St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek UNESCO World Heritage Site that encompasses 4 national & provincial parks and protects over 24 million acres of American and Canadian lands and the world's largest non-polar ice fields.⠀ ⠀ 📽 Go North Episode 18, link in bio!⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #kluane #nationalpark #unesco #heritagesite #mountlogan #kluanenationalpark #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #livelancelife #sponsored #visitcanada #rvlife #homeonwheels #rvtravel #roadtrip #epicroadtrip #alaskabound #rvingtoalaska #fallcolors #mountains #welivetoexplore #exploretocreate #livetravelchannel (at Kluane / Wrangell–St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rztJKh3MV/?igshid=f135iizvfqet

When the @BattleBornBatteries crew said they wanted to go to Denali National Park, we got so excited! Even though we had already spent 5 days there earlier in the summer, we were eager to return in mid-September to see the dramatic change that came with the fall season and the rapidly approaching winter. From the red and gold tundra to the wildlife, we were again blown away by this place. It was so much fun to share it with friends who were all seeing it for the first time! 🍂🐻 ⠀ 📽 Watch Go North Episode 17, link in bio! 🔗⠀ 🍿 Also, Re-watch Go North Episode 10, our first visit to Denali National Park! 🏔⠀ ⠀ #gonorth #denali #denalinationalpark #alaska #youneedalaska #grizzlybear #moose #bullmoose #denalibus #truckcampers #rvingtoalaska #truckcamperlife #hiking #staywild #keepitwild #findyourpark #nationalpark #alaskabound #getoutstayout #battlebornbatteries #sponsored #roadtrip #rvlife #rvlifestyle (at Denali National Park and Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7SF2ATBIUD/?igshid=1slpkmddvwqjp

At the Aurora Ice Bar inside the Museum, we were served Appletinis in cocktail glasses made from ICE! These were extremely hard to hold without gloves! Fortunately they had blankets on the ice barstools so you didn't freeze your butt off, too! 😆🍸 ~~⠀ ❄🔗Link to Go North Episode 17 in bio⠀ @BattleBornBatteries ⠀ #gonorth #appletini #auroraicemuseum #chenahotsprings #alaska #icehotel #icebar #icesculpture #icecold #freezing #winterwonderland #icecarving #iceicebaby #homeonwheels #rvlife #getoutstayout #welivetoexplore #makememories #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #alaskaroadtrip #alaskavacation #cheers⠀ (at Aurora Ice Museum At Chena Hot Springs Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7B0pTkhIvp/?igshid=j29ikotk7wsy

#GoNorth Episode 4 is up! Check out the first leg of our journey where we traveled up to the US-Canada border. It included a stop in Reno,NV to install our @battlebornbatteries system in the @lancecamper! We got to see how these batteries were made and even got to build our own 🛠🔋⚡�� There is also a blog post with the details of this design on our website if you’re curious. Excited to officially be a part of the @battlebornbatteries family and enjoy quiet, off-grid power this summer! ☀️🏔 #battlebornbatteries #battleborn #lithium #lithiumbattery #sponsored #drycamping #wildcamping #livelancelife #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #rvlife #rvliving #boondocking #fulltimerv #power #battery #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #welivetoexplore #alwaysanadventure #getoutside #offgrid #offgridliving #getoutstayout #getoutthere https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJWdneB9Ec/?igshid=1pytpvrzzvwho

Ever hear of a dog bridge? This thing is one of my favorite gear upgrades for this trip and was a game-changer for us utilizing the back seat of the truck for storage while still leaving plenty of space for our two dogs to ride back there! It made the space between the edge of the back seat and the back of the front seats usable, so we could use one of the back seats for the @dometic electric cooler, which runs off the portable lithium battery that can charge off the truck when we drive. Works GREAT! 😎🐕🐕⠀➡️ Link to blog in bio 📝 ⠀ #gonorth #rvdogs #travelwithpets #travelwithdogs #adventuredogs #mobilelivingmadeeasy #dometic #sponsored #livelifelance #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #rvlife #rvliving #rvlifestyle #rvingwithpets #travelhack #rvingtoalaska #welivetoexplore #adventureawaits #letsgosomewhere #cooler #lithiumbattery #vanlife #alaskabound #furbabies https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5TbnuBvxj/?igshid=11zgw3ese6wb0

It felt soooo good to be back on the road and have a change of scenery! After almost 4 years of being nomads, staying in one spot for 2 months feels like an eternity! And the greenery of Oregon versus the dry high desert was so refreshing🌲☺. Everyone travels differently, and we know others like to move more slowly, so what is YOUR preference? When do you start feeling the 'itch' to hit the road?⠀ ---⠀ Reminder: #GoNorth Episode 3 is up! 🎬🍿⠀ ---⠀ #openroad #roadtrip #ontheroadagain #roadlife #rvlife #rvliving #rvlifestyle #digitalnomad #nomadic #rvingtoalaska #alaskabound #livelancelife #sponsored #drive #fulltimerv #homeonwheels #homeiswhereweparkit #welivetoexplore #travelstoke #letsgosomewhere #travelgoals #rvtravel #onthemove #mytinyatlas #truckcamperlife #truckcamper #locationindependent (at Oakridge, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxz1wy0hvBL/?igshid=12ocsml0pb1rz

Another one of those "we'd never have done that in our fifth wheel" moments as we were driving through Northern CA a few weeks ago after leaving Reno. Pulled off on a Forest Service 2-track to make some lunch. Didn't check for a turn-around spot. Didn't check the softness of the ground off the worn tracks. Easy-peasy 👌. I could get used to this! 😁⠀ #gonorth #lunchbreak #truckcamper #truckcamperlife #livelancelife #sponsored #alaskabound #fourwheeldrive #4x4 #homeonwheels #homeiswhereyouparkit #rvingtoalaska #alwaysanadventure #makememories #roadtrip #rvlife #rvlifestyle #fulltimerv #freedomvessel #lifeisanadventure #welivetoexplore (at Susanville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxusVWYg0UF/?igshid=fle3v3dzbmei
