On day 109, Monday August 26, 2024, we came full circle and arrived back in Waynesville at 7:59 pm EST. Our trip computer read: 11,836.7 miles. Before arriving home, we made a stop in Indiana, and we were welcomed by our Indianapolis friends and family. One friend who was not there to greet us was…

Day: 104 Mile: 11,118 We are 104 days into our Alaska adventure. We spent the last two days in a KOA campground in Galesburg East/Knoxville, IL just west of Peoria, IL. We have traveled over 3,000 miles in 12 days, and we are tired. We decided to spend two nights here to rest and regroup…

Day: 99 Mile: 10,258 The topography, climate and the air quality has changed dramatically in the past several days, to say the least. Smoke from the wildfires north of us is following us south. We left Medicine Hat, Alberta yesterday morning after a walk in an amazing dog park, located right across the street from…

Day: 97 Mile: 9266 Our bucket list is checked, our freezer is full of fish, we miss our family, friends and our home, especially our washing machine and shower, so we are on our way south. Many of you have heard us say, “We planned our trip north down to the day, but have no…

Days: 79-93 Mile: 8182 My how time flies. It’s been two weeks since my last post. At that time, we were still in Homer enjoying the beach. I will briefly try and catch you up on what we have been up to these past two weeks. When we were doing our research for the trip,…

Days: 75-78 We are camping on the Homer Spit, surrounded by massive amounts of water and beach. As many of you know, the sea and the beach demands your attention. There is constant change happening on a beach. It can entertain me for days. So Homer is about beach time. We are taking lots of…

Days: 73-77 Mile: 6698 On day 74 we drove to Homer, but before I tell you about Homer, I want to share our last adventure in Seward; the Kenai Fjords National Park. On day 73 of our trip, we left the marina in Seward at 9:30 am for a 7.5 hour boat tour. It was…

Days: 67 – 72 Mile: 6526 On day 67 we said a fond farewell to our family and Kenai. Kenai responded with this wonderful rainbow over the Kenai River Esquary. We got the oil changed in the Greyhawk, picked up some groceries and prescriptions and headed for Seward, on the southeast side of the Kenai…

Days: 57-65 We have spent the past week visiting and sightseeing on the Kenai Peninsula. What a beautiful place. The weather has been cool and rainy but that has not stopped us from having some wonderful adventures. I am happy for the rain. The wildfires in this area, over the past years, have been devastating…

Days: 54-56 Mile: 6387 We spent two days in Anchorage, arriving on July 3 and departing on July 5. Which means we were in the 49th State for their 4th of July celebration.  My college roommate, Anne, suggested we see the parade, go to the Alaska Native Heritage Center, and have pizza at the Moose’s Tooth.  We managed two…
