On our way out of Seward, the sun decided to finally say hello, making our stop at Cooper Landing a more pleasant one. Our littlest, Luka, immediately grabbed a “fishing pole” and got down to business. Come and get it, salmon!
Seward, Alaska is a bustling port town and the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park. Back in 1964, the Great Alaskan earthquake of magnitude 9.2 immediately sank the entire waterfront of the town. The town decided to not rebuild on the land that makes up the new waterfront. Instead of building on Read more…
Let me tell you something. Hope, Alaska is as cute as it sounds. It’s located on the northern end of the Kenai Penninsula and sits just across the water from where Dan surfed the Turnagain Arm bore tide a couple days ago.
Turnagain Arm is one of two branches of Cook Inlet just south of Anchorage and north of Kenai Peninsula. It is second only to Bay of Fundy in extreme tidal differences in North America at 40 ft. With the right conditions, the incoming tide creates a wave that rushes in from the open sea that surfers and kayakers can ride for miles.
Back in Montana, we joined the Moose Lodge and here in Anchorage, our new membership came quite handy. A pit stop in the middle of the city is what was in order to refill our Airstream and to gather friends around for Dan’s 40th birthday.
For the past week, we have been relaxing in Fairbanks, purposely not driving too far in order for us to catch our breath. Fairbanks is probably the least scenic city of our summer stay in Alaska, so we are itching to get out of the city and see some wilderness.

HELLO, ALASKA!!!!!! It hasn’t been the easiest of roads to get here with our hitch issue and acquisition of a new vehicle but we did it. And it feels real good. Our first order of business is to find a dump station which just happens to be the place where our Read more…
We had the pleasure of being interviewed by When the Road is Home, a joint collaboration between Ben Schuyler and Daniel Volland. Head on over and listen to Dan describe the infamous sour toe shot and Luka talk about eating chips on an Alaskan glacier.

A couple of months ago we were asked by Family Trails to share some of our adventures with them.

Naturally we are happy to contribute Read more…
After a long drive day from Cedar City, Utah, we made our way up Highway 50, which was first used by the Pony Express and is now labeled The Loneliest Highway in America. We ended up settling in for the night at the Border Inn RV park, which is only a Read more…
