Two travel narratives about road trips to Alaska have come to my attention within the last 12 hours or so: Brian Tiemann’s three-week whirlwind from San José and back, complete with GPS tracklogs and tons of photos; and The Globe and Beyond, a trip journal by a couple who’ve quit their newspaper jobs and spent nearly the entire summer on the road (via Gadling). Of course this is giving me ideas, however impractical they may be. I can still dream.
