I chose the RV campsite we are staying at because it is the closest one to central Anchorage and has excellent wifi. The guide also told me it was next to the railway, so I was expecting some noise! I have to say it is one of the noisiest places…
Wildlife was almost non-existent last night, as Dennis already mentioned. Disappointing. I thought the quiet place with good vision down the old road, was an ideal viewing spot. As we turned back on to to the Alaska Highway this morning a hare crossed our path. A snowshoe hare. So called…
Last night we lay in bed and watched the Ovation and Radiance of the Seas cruise ships very slowly sailing south from Skagway. Both lit up like Christmas trees. They obviously make sure their passengers get a good night’s sleep, timing their arrival into the next destination at a reasonable…
Camping at the High Country RV Park was a good opportunity for catching up. We usually avoid RV parks as they are expensive and full of monster vehicles. This one was actually inexpensive and quite nice. After a few days camping in the wild we could do the laundry, fill…
Not a good night. Our Caranex tent is very definitely a fair weather tent. Last night was extremely windy. I don’t remember ever having a very windy night on the first part of our journey. Last night the tent flapped, creaked and rattled all night keeping me awake most of…
A peaceful night in the 7th Day Adventist’s church grounds. I thought God wouldn’t mind us camping there, but wasn’t so sure about the local congregation. As it was, we didn’t see a soul. My new granddaughter has arrived. Siena Rose was born on Monday evening at 19.21 weighing 8lbs…
Day 21. Monday, 20th May. Stationary today. Last night there was a beautiful red sunset. I am a great believer in the old adage “Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight”. This morning we awoke to a beautiful blue sky. The vents were wide open above us and through them we…
Today is a significant day. It is the due date of my fifth grandchild, granddaughter number 2. However, my son James informs me there are no arrival signs at the moment. I am sorry to be so far away and out in the wilds, without much access to wifi or…
It rained during the night and sadly our efforts to waterproof the Caranex have proved in vain. The ponding on the roof is not so bad, but there must to be holes where the water is getting in. We suspect where we have sown the strengthening webbing to the tent.…
Monday 13th Day 14 & Tuesday 14th Day 15 Days 12 and 13 have been spent in Whistler working on the Land Rover and helping Tim, Sarah, Charley and Jason move into their new house, so nothing of interest for the blog. Up early on Monday 13th and after sadly…
