That would be a No. There was no fee for the gas pumping except that they kept the gas. 3,500 miles and 11 days into the trip, I'm alot more accepting of stuff than I used to be  I knew I was supposed to NOT fill up as we got closer, but I forgot.
We donated clothes.....I guess we can donate gas, too.. |

When driving out to Washington from Michigan, I too was quite amazed at some of the vastness we drove through. Although, I did enjoy every bit of it.

Make sure the dog has a coat so if you break down he doesn't get cold.  |

The Parks Highway was pretty much ice/snow free up until Nenana. From there to Fairbanks it has snow and ice on it. The hills were a bit slippery coming into Fairbanks. We're heading down tomorrrow morning for the weekend in Anchorage and back to here on Sunday.
