15 July 2019 We slept till 11:30 (we were up until about 2:30 with all of the excitement) then had a quick breakfast and cat walk. Dan & Kathy were going back to Beaver Creek to look at the fire and then hike near Sheep Mountain. We said our goodbyes and hit the road. Stopped … Continue reading Last leg of the tour
Month: July 2019
On the road home
14 July 2019 There was no fog this morning but it was replaced by those tiny white flying bugs and lots of mosquitoes. We did a shortened walk as we were getting eaten by mosquitoes. It was still a beautiful view but nicer when viewed with a barrier between us and those bloodthirsty suckers! Of … Continue reading On the road home
Into and Out of Valdez
13 July 2019 On our morning stroll Kyo attempted to catch that bunny. No luck, thankfully. We have no doubt that the jackrabbit would win and Kyo would probably get a good kicking. After the excitement we got back in our vehicles and all drove towards Valdez. That is an amazingly beautiful drive with a … Continue reading Into and Out of Valdez
Heading East
12 July 2019 We were up and planning to walk the cats before breakfast. Kyo happily exited the vehicle and trotted off. Nyla, however, decided that she didn't need to have a walk before she got her lunch. Kim gave in and she sat on the step until Kyo and I returned. Who is wrapped … Continue reading Heading East
Death to Voles!
11 July 2019 You have to wait for this one... We had a nice slow morning at the campground and eventually headed into Anchorage to get supplies. First up was Costco - made it out with a under $100 bill! Next up was a visit to the Earthquake of 1964 park. Very interesting how that … Continue reading Death to Voles!
Heading North
10 July 2019 It has cooled down this morning at Valdez to 9 C. The fog has dropped down even lower and we decided to head out to the beginning of the spit to walk the cats where it was quieter. They were a bit skeptical about the beach walk as it was quite noisy … Continue reading Heading North
Homer at last!
9 July 2019 At about 3am we heard quite a commotion as people arrived back at camp after fishing. Later that morning Kim was coming back from his shower and found the camp owner cleaning the fish cleaning station very angrily as someone had left it in a huge mess. We are pretty sure it … Continue reading Homer at last!
On the road to Homer
8 July 2019 Again we had a very late morning start but we did manage to get a walk in with the cats and breakfast. It was our last day with Dan & Kathy so they said that they would take us out to lunch and we found an IHOP in Wasilla after we went … Continue reading On the road to Homer
Heading down the highway
7 July 2019 Morning started out beautifully and we headed down the road pulling off into parking areas to try to capture Denali. We passed by alarge structure that look like an igloo and it looked like they tried to make a motel but it never made it. It looked very expensive to do as … Continue reading Heading down the highway
Denali in the Smoke
6 July 2019 Kim, Dan and Kathy were up at 7 to hit the hot springs! They were so hot at the inlet that they had to climb under the railing to get to the cooler section! Sufficiently prunified they headed back to camp for breakfast. We then went on the Ice Museum tour. It … Continue reading Denali in the Smoke
Hotsprings adventure
5 July 2019 After the usual breakfast, cat walk and packing up we headed to Costco to load up on goodies. We were lucky to park beside empty trailers so that the motorhome was out of the sun as it was very hot out. A quick stop at McD's for lunch and we were on … Continue reading Hotsprings adventure
Fairbanks on the 4th
4 July 2019 The cats are getting frisky in the morning! Apparently 6 or 7 am is their preferred time to be up while we groan, protest and roll over trying to catch a few more winks. After we finally got up they didn't really want a walk but would rather have had meat food. … Continue reading Fairbanks on the 4th
