It’s been almost 3 weeks that we started this journey. It’s now Monday, August 10th, and we left Sherm’s house on the Kenai Peninsula. Tom and Mike continued driving to the Palmer/Wasilla area to spend the night while John and I decided to stay at an RV Park in Anchorage. That way, it will only…
Read MoreJourney to Alaska: Fishing on the Kenai
Yesterday, August 8 (Saturday), my friend Sherm took us out to one of his favorite fishing spots on the Kenai River. Since I’m neither a fisherman nor a hunter I decided to go along and document the day so no one would be able to come back and exaggerate a story about the size of…
Read MoreJourney to Alaska: On the Kenai Peninsula
We arrived at my friend Sherm Smith’s house a couple of days ago. He lives just outside of Kenai, AK. Sherm has a pretty big area where he cleared out the trees and put down gravel, so it’s a great place for us to park our LGs for a few days while we check out…

We’re 14 days into the trip and are about at the halfway point. We drove only about 220 miles yesterday from Denali to Wasilla, AK. What a gorgeous view the entire 220 miles. There were several pullouts where we were able to get pictures of Mt. McKinley on a really clear day. As we were…

Read MoreJourney to Alaska: From Fairbanks – Some travel tips
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to post on the blog but as Greg noted connectivity has been difficult and the drive up is long and requires attention. Tom English and I talked about the drive this morning and agreed that this drive is extremely long, grueling, mentally tiring and for anyone considering…
Read MoreJourney to Alaska: The morning after the day before.
Morning came early. Too early! I awoke at 5:00 and no one was up yet, so I took a shower and came back to the LG and put some coffee on. Slowly, everyone started to wake up and start packing up. We hit the road around 7:30. Another long day on the open road. I…
Read MoreJourney to Alaska: Day 5
It’s easy to forget what day of the week it is. Even if I could remember, it just doesn’t matter up here in the middle of nowhere. John and I left Whisker Point Provincial Point and hit the road toward Dawson Creek, the beginning of the Alaska Highway; Milepost “0”. It was beautiful drive from…
