The BIG DAY has arrived! Leaving Great Falls Montana tomorrow! Alaska, here we come!



   We have officially integrated into Adventure Caravans travel group. We had a welcome meeting yesterday, RV inspection, and lots of orientation with lots of nice people. It feels very strange to begin this part of the adventure and not know anybody. I have been a little bit homesick and nostalgic. I know we will be fine, it’s just a little bit scary. We leave for Cardston, Alberta 👀 in the morning and go across the Canadian border. We’ve been given instructions on what to say and not say! No weapons, minimal Alcohol, and no smart mouths! Our Wagon Master leaves at 0800 and our Tail Gunner Leaves at 10 o’clock. We can leave anywhere between there. We have a carriage ride and museum scheduled for 1500, when we arrive at the next RV place, which is Lee Creek campground.

Here are a few pictures of our Great Falls, Montana visit, from the past three days. We took a bike ride along the Missouri river, and saw a few little cascading falls, not much to speak of, since they dammed up the water falls. We went to the Lewis and Clark interpretive Center, W. Russell Art museum (he paints westerns), went to the grocery store for the first time since the trip began and washed our big bug ridden truck “Charlie”. Finally feeling clean again, lol.

Shasta for 4 nights, fishing & family!

 Hi everyone! Hope all is well. In order for you to get a notification that I post something on the blog, I think you have to log in and make an account, which is fairly easy, FYI. We have had an amazing time in Shasta staying at Lake Siskiyou campground for 4 nights. Jennifer and Rob, and Christopher Ferrouge all joined us for this stay. Scott and Penny are here also. The men golfed on the most gorgeous golf course the first day! We’ve had a lot of fun, biking, and beach time and then today we rented a boat and caught five trout! It’s been so beautiful. Shasta dam and the sun dial in Redding are shown below too.  Tomorrow we plan on going to some waterfalls with the family, and then going separate ways and continuing with Penny & Scott. Next stop is Crater Lake! Shasta Dam Sundial in Redding Jennifer & I biking the trail around the lake  Lake Siskyou Penny & Tilly, Oreo & I

Took a ferry across to Top of the World Highway and then Chicken, Alaska! & more! (Dawson City, Tok, Fairbanks)

Chena River, Fairbanks  Hi everyone!    One of our highlights this week was driving the Top of the World highway. It definitely felt like the top of the world! The roads are crazy, rough, and we ended up in the little town of Chicken. They’re downtown was a saloon, Café, and gift shop. We have been in several Cities with tours, talks, and shows. A salmon bake, sternwheeler ship excursion, potluck for July 4, and more. We saw a fox, and Caribou while driving. We arrived in Fairbanks, the other day, to actually stay for four nights, finally! The only thing that is a little bit of a problem here, has been a fire nearby and lots of smoky air. Francois’ has been fishing a few times and caught a few little trout. I think we are having it for dinner tonight. The weather has been in the 80’ the last few days with no rain. We are staying at the Fairbanks/Chena Northpole KOA right now. Congratulations to Alex and Kiana, our nephew who got married yesterday in Idaho! So thrilled!...
