I have promised so many friends that I would keep in touch, post pics, and keep everyone updated on our whereabouts as we embark on our latest road trip that I decided to revive this blog that I started several years ago and then let languish as we built our new home, moved, unpacked, settled in, and etc. We will be heading out on Tuesday across Minnesota, North Dakota and most of Montana before we turn North to Alaska!! We sold our motorhome two years ago but with the road trip bug biting at our ankles, we bought a new 18 ft. travel trailer that will nicely serve our needs for this trip and hopefully a few others. We wanted a fairly lightweight unit with a bed centered so each could get out of bed without crawling over the other (too old for that!!), a full refrigerator (some small units just have an under the counter model), a decent shower, and accessible storage. We are packing very carefully to keep weight down - we have found that we don't have to take everything we own along for the ride!! I will update as we move along, with possible breaks through Canada - not sure how much sufficient data will cost through that stretch. We will travel north from Havre MT through Calgary, Edmonton, etc. via the Al-Can Highway to Tok. We plan to go north to Fairbanks area first then travel to Denali and south to the Kenai Peninsula and probably spend about a week in the Anchorage area before we leave Alaska near the end of June. We will head east, southeast through Canada and have reservations for five days near Banff - one of my "Bucket List" items. We will soak in the fabulous scenery we have seen pics of and heard so much about, drive our hearts out in the area, eat some good food etc. before we head east across Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota so as to arrive back in Wisconsin with a few days to spare before the Hall Family Reunion that is planned to be held at our place on July 18!!! No moss growing on this rock!
