Tone, It takes a lot of money to do the drive, and I don't plan on going down there to do easy trails. I see all this crazy rock crawling, and in Alaska there is very little of that and it looks like a lot of fun. I would rather save a lot and have a 3 week vacation (paid). Do some new to me, 4x4 rock crawling, visit freinds in the states, and hopefully do well in Vegas. I will not keep putting this off, I will be there '06!
