What is the Compass publication that a lot of folks here are referring to?

Also can anyone tell me where to get it and how much it costs?

I laos read that the new issue will be out in March..

Please elaborate if possible..

Thanks evryone for the great tips and help on this forum..

Do you mean THE MILEPOST??? It is a necessary reference is you are going to drive in Alaska. Lists mile/mile, road conditions, services, some attractions. It is a yearly publication that comes out every March. If you can get an older copy real cheap, there is little change year to year except for construction, which you can update online via the Alaska Highway dept.

yes that what I meant!! thanks

any ideas on where to get one?. I will definately be driving for the 2 weeks I am there..

Anchorage, Seward, Homer, Talkeetna, Denali, Matanuska areas.

Amazon was cheapest when I ordered mine last year.

You can pick them up discounted at the Anchorage Walmart. Until then head to your library and look at an older copy. It is available via order from most any bookstore if you don't want to wait.

BQ knows Alaska so well she could write a best-selling Alaska tour guide! ;-)

As for those who don't know it that well, I would STRONGLY suggest you purchase a Milepost as soon as possible. We got ours about a week before we went, and regretted that we didn't have more time to really study our itinerary in the Milepost before we got to Alaska. We found that the Milepost mentions a lot of things we had not read anywhere else.

You will love Alaska. Enjoy!
