Haf Canadian took me to task today with a comment about how I haven’t posted in a month. It’s worse then that, I haven’t posted since Apr. 24th, so a full 5 weeks. Sorry everyone. I’m very pleased that you all follow my adventures. I noticed that yesterday, after 5 weeks of no new postings, ten of you still stopped by to see if there was anything new. Well, I have no excuse. I do have more pictures of the ice carving competition, lots more, that I want to put up, it just seems difficult to bring myself to sit here in front of the computer and just do it. Then this summer I plan on doing some exploring around Fairbanks to places I haven’t been yet so stay tuned for that.
I promise I’ll get something up this evening. I’m not planning on going anywhere, there is nothing but reruns on TV, so later today I’ll get some more stuff up.
In the news, I’ve firmed up my travel plans. I’ll be leaving Fairbanks and heading to the lower 48 on or around Aug. 30th. My brother Dan is flying in, we’ll head on down to Haines, stay a couple days exploring, then take the ferry over to Skagway. Dan will then climb the Chilkoot trail, maybe I’ll join him, that takes 5 days. He’ll have his camera so I’ll post the good ones. Then we’ll head up into the mountains and into Canada. We will enjoy an extended trip so all together we’ll be on the road for two weeks. Ending the trip in Walla Walla, Washington where my kids are now living.
After a few days or weeks with the kids and my sister (she lives in Walla Walla too), I’m heading east into Idaho and North Dakota to have a look around. I’m thinking that I should also make a trip over to the east coast. It’s crowded, I know, but there is a lot of history over there I’d like to see and visit.
So, keep checking back, there will be many more exciting adventures to come.
When are you expecting to arrive in W2, then?
Like I said…about two weeks after leaving Fairbanks. Or about the 13th of Sept.
