It’s time to pick up the pace as we make our way south. And we’ll also have to make another border crossing – and it won’t be the last! Fairbanks, again Kevin had to go out of town for work so we posted up in Fairbanks again so he could fly out. Of course, while […]
We’re back for another visit to Talkeetna where we saw many more stunning views of Denali. Free camping in Talkeetna We stayed a few days on the Talkeetna spur in a pull-out, and it was pretty quiet at night. It was just a few miles to drive into town, and there were several pull-outs you […]
When we left Anchorage after two weeks, we didn’t get far. We boondocked on the Matanuska River in Palmer again so we could catch the Alaska State Fair. Alaska State Fair We’d been hearing about the gigantic vegetables that grow in Alaska for some time. They set world records every year. So we wanted to see […]
If it seems like all we did in Anchorage was eat, that’s because it’s mostly true. And eating vegan in Anchorage was pretty easy! Paul was out of town, Kevin was getting sick, and the weather was rainy most of the time. So we caught up on errands and work. And we ate food. Eating […]
In this video, we hang out in Homer, overnight in Kenai, and sleep on the side of the Seward Highway so we can see Beluga whales. Homer Sadly, the weather was nasty when we arrived in Homer and didn’t improve much. The clouds parted a few times, and we got glimpses of blue sky, but then the […]
It’s a travel day as we leave Seward and head in the direction of Homer with a stop to view another glacier along the way – Exit Glacier. We wind up at a lovely little free camping spot. Exit Glacier On the way out of Seward, we stopped to do the hike at Exit Glacier. […]
Time to leave Hope behind and head to Seward, Alaska! We’ve heard many good things about Seward, and it seems like most of them are true. Iditarod Campground In Seward, we lucked out at an excellent spot right on Resurrection Bay and a short walk to the little downtown area. There are campgrounds all along […]
As we head further into the Kenai Peninsula, our next stop is the little fishing town of Hope, Alaska. Camping in Hope Pro-top: don’t arrive in Hope, Alaska on the weekend during the fishing season without a campground reservation if you want to stay right in town. They were all full when we arrived on […]
Can you believe we took the RV through this 2 1/2 mile one-way tunnel to Whittier, Alaska? It was crazy and looked like we wouldn’t fit as we approached. Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel to Whittier is the longest highway tunnel in North America. Built initially for rail, cars and trains […]
After we left Girdwood, we stopped at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center as we made our way into the Kenai Peninsula. Mixed Feelings Initially, we were going to wait in the parking lot at the center. It seemed a little zoo-like for us. Especially the hoopla around the animal feedings. But you had to pay […]
