Another ALASKA adventure starting...

We too are heading 'north to Alaska' this summer. Actually this week. Got plenty of time and am planning 2 months or more. Driving my 2001 and pulling 28' ultra-light TT. (6k) Planning on some RV parks but mostly public campgrounds without hookups. (Somewhat remote with wildlife and photo heaven available.) Planning on going up the Caspiar with frequent side trips and back through Calgary. We always look for the unusual and prefer visiting places that are off the beaten path!

Have read all there is on this site and several others. Great advice. Thanks.

3 questions for some of you experienced travelers:

1. Any places that we should avoid due to security? (theft/vandalism)

2. Is it permissible to overnight other than in campgrounds? ie WallyWorld, casinos, rest areas?

3. What is the best solution for money exchange?
