Mile 7541. Hi Country RV Park in Whitehorse, YT (again). The last blog was written outside on a beautiful sunny warm evening in Tok, AK. The next morning I awoke to rain and the smell of smoke, both of which put me in a foul mood, irritated by everything and[…]

I Survived the Alaska Highway

Mile 6021. Quartz Creek Campground, Cooper Landing, Kenai Peninsula. Homer or Bust. That’s been our motto for the past year. I even doodled it in snow on the Icefield Parkway skywalk outside of Jasper exactly one month ago. Homer, at a glance and in our minds, was both the northern[…]
