Alaska Epilogue – Aug 2017
I started to write this epilogue with the concept of “lessons learned” – you know, what went right, what went wrong, what could improve, and maybe I still will. It […]

Alaska (Chapter 16) – Aug 2017
Last stop: Hyder. Located on the southernmost tip of Alaska, it is situated south of Juneau on the Canadian border, at the northern end of the Portland Canal, nestled between […]
Alaska (Chapter 15) – Aug 2017
Wrangell – St. Elias National Park. Yes, I know I have gushed about this park previously (Chapter 2 and Chapter 3), but we returned having left the Kenai Peninsula and […]
Alaska (Chapter 14) – Aug 2017
Last stops on the Kenai Peninsula. As we depart the Kenai, it seemed appropriate to show a few pictures that reflect Alaskan culture: birds, bears and fish. We diverted from […]
Alaska (Chapter 13) – Aug 2017
Anchor Point, on the Kenai Peninsula. And eagles. In a minute. One of the many things we have learned about Alaska is there are about 20 seasons – all having […]
Alaska (Chapter 12) – July 2017
The boats of Homer. Many of you have been asking me, “Brad, how about a calendar that showcases the boats of Homer?” Well, I can’t do a calendar, because I […]
Alaska (Chapter 11) – July 2017
Homer. If Cape Cod and Switzerland had a child, it would be Homer, AK. What a fabulous few days we have spent in Homer, and talk about drop dead gorgeous, […]
Alaska (Chapter 10) – July 2017
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. No, we did not take our Airstream here – that would be hard without swimmies or wings. But I did fly over in a […]
Alaska (Chapter 9) – July 2017
Seward. I know you are thinking – OK, another post showing beautiful views and talking about great human-interest stories. Not so fast! Besides, I think that is racial profiling, or […]
Alaska (Chapter 8) – July 2017
Kenai Peninsula (part 1). We departed Valdez on our continuing mystery tour – since it is generally a mystery where we will end up next. We ended up on the […]
Alaska (Chapter 7) – July 2017
Valdez. We visited Valdez briefly about a month or so ago, but this time we spent a little more time here and got to see Prince William Sound. This really […]
Alaska (Chapter 6) – July 2017
Denali Highway. This will be a short post, but important just the same. Important you say? To whom? Well, not to you or me, but maybe someone with a lower […]
Alaska (Chapter 5) – July 2017
Strap in. Denali. It has taken us 45 days and over 7,300 miles to get from TCPC in Crossville, TN to Denali. How can anyone come away from visiting Denali […]
Alaska (Chapter 4) – June 2017
Chitina-to-Valdez-to-Anchorage-and beyond. This post is going to be all over the map. Emotionally, metaphorically, geographically… you pick. If your choice was emotionally or metaphorically, you probably found my blog in […]
Alaska (Chapter 3) – June 2017
McCarthy Road. I have a close friend Jerry (I don’t really have a close friend Jerry, but it sounds cool) who says my entire blog is subject to low moral […]
Alaska (Chapter 2) – June 2017
Nabesna Road. I am beginning to think we may suffer from visual overload on this trip. Driving south from Tok, AK, we arrived at the northern portion of the Wrangell-St. […]
Alaska (Chapter 1) – June 2017
Top of the World. It only took us a month, but we made it to Alaska! Now it certainly didn’t have to take us a month, but we had a […]
Yukon (southern edition) – June 2017
Yukon. We have barely touched the Yukon Territory so far, but it has touched us. This place is great; the views have been spectacular and interesting, and the people have […]
Alaska Prep – May 2017
Yup, we are prepping for a trip to Alaska, making our lists and getting things ready! Just call us preppers. I am not new to this; I used to be […]
