July 26, 2006SewardSeward is a nice place. We took a boat ride to see the glaciers and wildlife, did some hiking, had a really good time despite the freezing cold, rainy weather. We did see two whales on the boat ride, but...Read this update Exit GlacierThis glacier you can walk right up to. We touched it and I had to lick it. When else can you lick ice that could be like 1,000 years old? Ok, maybe only I would care about something like that...Read this update Russian RiverAll over Alaska everyone was talking about the Russian River salmon fishing. For the longest time we thought it was the Rushing River they were talking about but finally we figured it out. Dave and I both gave the fishing...Read this update July 24, 2006Kenai PeninsulaWell, we did a lot in the peninsula but here I'm just going to post a few photos that don't really fit in anywhere else. Just beautiful! A bald eage just hanging around in Homer. Mountains in the background hear...Read this update AnchorageAnchorage is really a cool city. Fairbanks was rather grim, so I wasn't sure what to expect but this is what a city should be like. There is a 23 mile bike trail all along the water front that is...Read this update Denali State ParkOk, not all Alaska State Parks are crummy, this one was very nice. The thing that bothered us about the State Parks when we first arrived was: Dear Alaska, this is NOT a campground. This is a parking lot. There...Read this update July 12, 2006The Big OneAfter all that time in the National Park and no mountain views, Denali finally came out for us the day we left the National Park and went into Denali State Park. There it is. If you like to call it...Read this update Denali National Park!!!Denali was really cool, as you probably expect. We saw 4 bear, 4 moose, a wolf, a billion caribou, a billion dahl sheep, two golden eages and probably some other stuff I've forgotten about. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of...Read this update Nenana Ice ClassicJust wanted to post this photo from a little town we stopped in called Nenana. The structure I'm standing beside is put on the ice every winter. Everyone in town and from miles around then pays $1 and picks a...Read this update Arctic CircleWe thought about driving the Dalton Highway all the way to Deadhorse, the northernmost point you can drive to. But it is a 414 mile drive (1 way) on a dirt road that is notorious for causing flat tires. It's...Read this update July 10, 2006Into AKWell, we made it! We had a lot of fun in BC and the Yukon but we wanted to make sure we didn't spend too much time down there and not make it into Alaska. So far it's been great....Read this update July 01, 2006BearsSo we'd seen several bears along the trip, one in Oregon but the rest since we entered Canada. Dave and I even made a bet on how many bears we'd see before we hit the Alaka border. I went low,...Read this update Yukon!The Yukon is a cool place, literally. :) It has an interesting history and rugged attitude. The town of Whitehorse with around 25,000 people has 2/3 of the population of the province. Makes the Ozarks sound crowded. :) A lot...Read this update Kluane National Park and PreserveThis national park in the Yukon contains Canada's highest mountains. It was so pretty we had to stop and spend some time hiking around. A distant view of some of the bigger mountains. Another lovely lake near our campsite. More...Read this update Beautiful British ColumbiaThat's what the license plates up here say and it's true. We took a side trip to the twin communities of Stuart, BC and Hyder, AK which are two towns of a few hundered people about 3 miles apart. They...Read this update |
