From Washington to Anchorage, Alaska?
My husband is going to anchorage for work for 1-2 months! I want to go but we have a couple of little dogs- we cant fly them as in cabin because they are noisy in crates, we dont trust air cargo flying ( too cold for igs in the winter) My husband won't let me drive from wa to alaska unless I prove that the roads aren't as bad as he thinks. I could take a ferry but I read that the only scheduled ones are from bellingham to ketchikan (which if my final destination is to anchorage from ketchikan, it would still be about 2200 miles) Unless I am missing something with ferry routes or theres another ferry line- or i prove that the roads arent so bad I can't go. Thanks for any info. also, IF the roads MUST be traveled w/ a truck or can it be done with a car, if need be I can rent a truck for travel.

I've never heard of anyone attempting to drive that route in the winter. And if you get stuck in a snow bank somewhere, you would be endangering the dogs lives as well as your own. I'm the world's biggest pet lover and I know how important they are to you==but if you're only going for 1-2 months, why don't you just leave them behind with a pet sitter (someone who will stay at your house or will take them to live at theirs). Or board them at a cageless facility where they have the run of a house and a fenced yard. It's quite easy to find pet sitters and boarding facilities that are licensed, insured, and bonded--and cageless is all the rage these days
