@Svarte, I wasn't implying that we didn't land in Alaska, I meant that we had no leads to follow.
Oh, ok gotcha.

So... does that mean we... can't go to South America? D'aww.
No one ever said that.

I'd like to concur to a certain degree with the 'investigate previous landings/crashes' angle. Specifically, getting access to an internet connection for research purposes. Longer term, we could consider gearing up and infiltrating Area 51 to try and find something that might spark memories, or possibly some sort of long-range communicator or ship.
I don't believe internet technology was very extensive in 1990.

But ARPANET was around then (since the late 60s-early 70s, actually), and it seems plausible that the DoD would have information relating to alien contact on it. So basically it isn't a matter of walking into an internet cafe or something, but we could still have the option of, say, mindcontrolling a DoD scientist or something to get access. So basically the same as sneaking into A51, but with less physical danger.

Edit for clarity: This is much more of a long-term goal, something for us to consider while we solidify our current situation.

Let's go across the bridge, after looking to make sure there are very few cars to reduce the chances of being spotted.

Hide in the back seat while going across, as cars passing on the bridge may be slow and close enough to notice something is off about us.

Apparently I didn't make it clear that we don't have the car yet. It's in Tonsina. You're still on an ATV.

Bury our face into the back of the human while he drives us to a small airport. They'll probably think we're like his.. girlfriend or something. Or that asses are freezing off.

Well, it is August, one of the hottest months in southern Alaska.

You wait at the side of the road on your ATV and seize an opportunity to cross into Tonsina. The man leads you to his house, no one seems to notice along the way. He offers you his xl hoodie, sunglasses, and jeans for a better disguise. Now that you're safe in the man's house, you could either do a bit of exploring, you don't think he'll mind, or leave now.

Try to scan the surrounding human minds if anyone saw us. If yes, order our follower to take us to an airport ASAP. If not, stay and regenerate our telepathic abilites. Preferably after ensuring our aide won't run off or cause harm to us in any way, shape or form.

We're taller, stronger, and armored with both claws and teeth. We're also telepaths and natural predators. Of course we could kill 'em. So we have a food source, at least.

Let's... Not do that, if possible.
Ask our buddy if we can explore his house, maybe get some steak or something similar from his freezer.

This looks fun!

Just a couple of Qus:

What are our senses like? (Hearing, smell, sight) It stands to reason they would go to waste on a telepathic creature.  :-\

How fast are we?

You pretty much rely on telekenesis for sense, other senses have lost importance over eons of evolution. You're fast enough to outrun a human. 15-20 mph?
