Alaska Bound

Returning to Alaska
Yes you heard correctly, we have slowly been planning a return trip, since 2021. We knew that Alaska was calling again. This is so true of the Kenia peninsula.

Our plan, is to spend more time dry camping along the way. Many road trips along with, heading down to Homer and the spit. But manly I want to fly into katmai national park and see the largest population of bears up close.

Just in case Susan is packing along extra insurance on me. 

Currently we are at our Show Low property up in the White Mountains, which is east of Payson, Az. As is the case there is always something which is required to do, especially up in the forest area. 

As is the Case, this is a Acorn Woodpecker

There happens to be a mating pair which keeps coming around. Susan also has put in place Hummingbird feeders which are bearing fruit. We notice at least 3 different ones coming around.

As it also happens and we all have experience this, the crazy weather we have seen and experience. Currently we are having an early Monsoon season. This is where the humidity is about 40%. Normally this does not start until July - August. This pass season, saw a larger snow-fall not only here but across the white mountains.

Just in case you are wondering, which route we are taking: Remember everything must be fluid:

Pre-Planning Route

So, some of you maybe wondering what we have been doing. Well for starters. We had out Lake Havasu Rally in Nov. 2022. Which was a big hit. You seen even though this is a dry camping rally, it is a luxury dry camping experience. Shower and bathroom building with warm water. On-site dump and water facility. Large meeting building, capable of holding over 200 people inside. 





Susan and some lady friends went on a cruse along the Mexican  Riviera.

Along with many nights of dinners and friends coming over.


One evening we were entertained by a rocket launch from Vanderburg AF base.




Well this should be enough to wet your whistle
