A lot of people that haven't taken the trip plan to camp and fish, and looky-loo at all the wild-life...bla bla bla bla. What ends up happening is you realize you want to get to Alaska and end up hauling ass . 3-4 days is enough driving. I just put the hammer down and go. But as you'll read below, there's no hurry (there is for me for different reasons). I

BTW...there's a lot of good fishing on the Copper tribs. For my money, it's a lot better action than paying some out-of-state Alaska guide, who doesn't know the river from his asshole, 200 dollars to take you out on the Kenai and skunk your ass.

Then you can pay an additional thousand dollars or so for a few nights accomodations, and $44.00 for a six-pack of beer, and $6.00 for a big-mac and get stopped in a perpetual motor-home traffic jam, with zipperheads, texans and oregonians acting like they own the place. If that's not enough for you, you can also pay the above-mentioned O.O.S-guide too much money to take you sockeye fishing because there's NO ROOM on the banks because of all the above mentioned dickheads from Texas

In summary, take the cassiar, don't get in a hurry to get to Kenai-Sol, and fish the copper system. There's plenty of big-kings, you won't get skunked and you won't get frustrated.
