Alaska, At Last
Alaska . Road Trip . TravelSaturday July 6th 2019
Oh, how nice it was to sleep in, and to not have to pack up and hurry out. The air conditioning in the hotel was a welcome luxury after spending several days in the atypical heat that had settled over the northwest. Outside the windows, Anchorage was not only baking from an unnatural heatwave, but it was also smothered in a smoky haze from wildfires raging in the surrounding areas.

Toe-tally Fun!
Road Trip . TravelTuesday July 2nd 2019
Excitement isn’t exactly the word I’d use to describe this day of travel. Nothing terribly exciting happened. There were no planned stops on the itinerary for this leg of the journey, only our day’s end destination of Fort Nelson. Well, okay, that’s not entirely true. Our only planned stop was a sign in Dawson Creek, BC, the official start of the Alaska Highway.

Watch Your Glaciers, Alaska…
Road Trip . Travel…because global warming is real and we’re coming in hot!
Driving to Alaska once is something that many people think is pretty nuts already. Doing it twice, and in less than a year, well that might just be clinically insane. (Jury’s still out on that one though).
Now, I’m actually posting this after the trip has come and gone. I guess that’s a good thing. I had absolutely no time nor energy to write a blog at the end of the day. Those “spare” minutes I had went towards driving another 100 miles, or seeing something new. But of course, it allows me to reflect on everything with the benefit of hindsight. But two weeks in a car blurs together like its been seamlessly stitched into a film reel, so it’ll take some real studying of my photos and my Google timeline to tell me when and where I was on what day. So here it goes!
