Tolsona Wilderness Campground is excellent - a true jewel!  Their laundry is the best pricing we have seen, their wifi is good and Ken was able to work remote today, it is quiet and we got side by side sites with my parents in the sun for their solar recharge and us in the shade for our expandable beds.  There are water and electric hookups and thanks for Mom and Dad's Passport America membership, it was $35 for two nights!  The kids have loved the creek and the wifi.

The Big Picture This summer, the Brothers are Alaska bound!  The plan is to drive and camp all the way from southeast PA to Denali National Park in Alaska.  Our initial plan is over 9200miles round trip, and that is before we add in all the actual stops and trips through various sites.   We will be taking one of our SUVs (still deciding which one - the 2003 Excursion or the 2005 Suburban) and the same hybrid Starcraft camper we took in 2016 (see brothersbrt.blogspot.com for the summary and trip log for that trip). Once again, I plan to blog some of our preparations, and keep a travelogue of our adventure to Alaska. First things first - since we will need to drive through Canada, everyone needs a US Passport.  We are awaiting the last three, which should arrive within a month or so.
