Portage Glacier

We got lucky, the weather here was great. This place is either windy and rainy or nice-no in between. We had a wonderful time here and our next stop is Byer's Lake. Now we are in Fairbanks and then on south towards Anchorage tomorrow after a couple of campground stops along the way. So that's it for now. Love to all, Vicki and Ed

Our son Raymond

A couple of days ago, Raymond moved to Lansing, Michigan to be with his girlfriend Erin. My grandson is in Nebraska now, so I'm running out of reasons to visit here. Ed's kids have come to Arizona to see us and we are getting our house cleaned out so my brother and his wife won't need us around for anything either. I wish Alaska could be closer so we could be snow birds and come up here every summer. With this weather, it's making me not miss it so much though. June is supposed to be our best month here-what happened? Next week we head down to Cooper Landing to do some camping. And then we have to do more house stuff along with helping chop down some beetle kill trees at our friends house on the hillside. We're hoping to fish too. This summer is going by way too fast! That's all for now, Love to everyone, Vicki & Ed

Kenai Lake, Quartz Creek Campground

In between weeding out the house, we found time for a motorcycle ride down to Cooper Landing. Good weather has been scarce so when it's nice we've been taking advantage of it. Next weekend we are going to have a huge garage sale, and of course it's supposed to rain. I want to be done with it though, so I don't care. Also, my son Raymond is going to move to Michigan this week, so we've been going through all his stuff. Needless to say we've been busy. Can't wait to relax and enjoy our stay!

South Rolly Lake Campground

Last week we stayed at South Rolly Lake for several days. This has always been one of our favorite campgrounds, made even better now that the road leading in has been paved. It was 6 miles of washboard gravel. Of course it rained almost every day except the day we left, but we still had a great time and had a campfire going a good amount of time. Now we are starting to weed through all the stuff in our home here, which is a whole garage full of boxes. That's where we're off to today, so everyone have a great weekend! Love, Vicki & Ed

The Official Start of the Alaska Highway


This is in Dawson Creek yesterday-the start of the Alaska Highway. We're in Fort Nelson now, getting ready to go to Laird Hot Springs. It rained all night and we have wind with the rain today. The weather is supposed to improve tomorrow though. Probably no internet for a while, so blog down the road a ways. Hugs and Kisses, Vicki & Ed

STARTING OUR ALASKA TRIP

We arrived in Panguitch, Utah this week to help our friends, the owners of the KOA here. They don't have any help this summer and we came by to work with them to get everything ready for a busy season. On Tuesday we'll continue on our trip. We've looked ahead and are going to get rained on pretty much. Oh well, at least we're not in a tent. So long, Love, Vicki & Ed

Day Trip to Sedona, Arizona


In between getting ready for our trip up to Alaska and having company, Ed's son and our friends from Anchorage, we managed to squeeze in a nice bike ride up to red rock country. It's funny, I always thought that Sedona was so beautiful, but after spending so much time in Panguitch, Utah which is right next to Bryce N.P. and also Zion N.P., Sedona wasn't too impressive. It still made for a great ride and it was nice to just take it easy. We leave for our big trip on about May 15th and will spend a week at the Panguitch KOA. The owners didn't get any work campers this year so we will give them a break before we head up north. That's it for now, I'll keep everyone updated. Hugs and Kisses to all, Vicki & Ed
