Bears – Sept 2017
Before I pack up and put away photos from our trip to Alaska this year, I thought I would share some photos that I had not posted previously. These bears […]

I won’t lie – I have dreaded doing this post. My problem is I expect people will want to find this post interesting, relevant, and useful, and it will likely […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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. 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 […]
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 […]
