What’s Next?
You may recall a post we made last February where we laid out our plans for 2016. At that time we were still months away from the start of our Alaska trip. In that post I wrote about how RVers …
Year: 2016
Detour from the Cassiar to Stewart/Hyder
When we left our boondocking spot at Lower Gnat lake, we were headed for the Meziadin Lake Provincial Park. This, we thought, would be our return trip-equivalent of Muncho Lake, where we spent four beautiful days on our trip north …
The Cassiar Highway
The title of this post is somewhat misleading. Rolling out of Dawson City, we still had many miles to cover before we would reach the Cassiar Highway, 601 miles to be exact. Our plan was to do one overnight on …
Dawson – City of Gold
Linda and I are not big on touristy things. It’s probably a little ironic given that our lifestyle would seem to dictate otherwise. Call me cynical but I find that the majority of places that are deemed tourist attractions are …

Deep Creek, Part II – Rest and Relaxation
In our last post, we talked about our fishing trip out of Deep Creek. Thankfully, I got over my illness as soon as I hit terra firma, which was just as well because there is so much to love about …
Deep Creek, Part I – Accidental Fishing
Two days after we arrived at Deep Creek State Recreation Area, we accidentally went fishing. That’s a long story, but before I get to that, let me back up to our departure from Cooper Landing. Along strategic points on the …
The Kenai Peninsula, Part 2 – A Family Affair
The Kenai Peninsula is touted as “Alaska’s Playground” and that is more than just a marketing slogan, it pretty much sums up a way of life. It isn’t just hordes of tourists that come to the Kenai, though there is …
The Kenai Peninsula, Part 1– Seward
Our plan for the 4th of July was to hunker down in Seward at the Waterfront Park. Typically we would have made reservations in advance to make sure we had a spot, but the campground we wanted to be in …
