Home

We left on 5/26/26 and arrived home on 7/17/26. That’s an almost 8 week trip! Starting in Rio Vista to Bellingham, WA, then the Alaskan State Ferry to Ketchikan, Sitka, and Haines. Then drove the Haines Hwy to the Alaska Highway to Tok, Fairbanks, and finally Healy and Denali. Spent the next week at Kevin, […]

Three’s a charm

On our way to conquer the Cassiar! The Cassiar Highway is an alternate route to the Alaskan Highway, and we’ve tried twice before to complete it. In 2018, our RV’s radiator leaked and we had to turn back. In 2025, we were heading to try it again, when about 300 miles from the start, our […]

Skagway

7/3: The South Klondike Highway goes from the Alaska Highway to Skagway, and has some of the most stunning alpine scenery of the trip. We spent the next few days in Skagway, very much a cruise ship stop. On 7/5 we road on the White Pass & Yukon Railroad, and we were lucky enough to […]

On our way to Skagway

6/29/26: First stop in Fairbanks to stock up on supplies, and get the amazing peanut butter burger at Latitude 65 brewery. Found a nice RV park just past Fairbanks – Lazy Moose in Salcha. 6/30: Stopped in Tok to fuel up – diesel and propane, staying in the same campground we’d stayed at on the […]

More Skylar time

Couldn’t pass up one more visit with Skylar before starting our return trip. One last hug before we have to leave.

Back to Healy via Talkeetna

After visiting all three museums, all two breweries, and riding our bikes all over town, we headed back to Healy for one more visit with Skylar. But on the way we stopped in Talkeetna to finally do a glacier landing flight with K2 Aviation.

Valdez

Leaving Homer, we expected to take several days to get to Valdez, and camp before Anchorage, but as we got closer to Anchorage, it became clear that the campgrounds there were filling up for the week-end, so we had to push on, past Anchorage and stayed the night in Palmer at Matanuska River Park – […]

Hope & Homer

Driving down the Seward Highway we had great views of the Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet. We stopped in a small mining town, Hope and scored an amazing camping spot at Porcupine Campground. So nice to explore a small Alaskan town that’s a bit off the beaten path, so it’s not crowded with tourists. […]

Healy

We arrived in Healy on 6/5 and immediately went into family time mode! Visited with Kevin, Megan and especially Skylar, and unknowingly taught her to fist bump! Then Kerry, Dave, Quinn, and Rowan arrived on 6/7, having flown into Anchorage the day before, and then took the train to Healy. We squeezed an amazing amount […]

Haines to Tok

Leaving Haines, AK we headed up the Haines Highway to Haines Junction in the Yukon where we turned onto the Alaska Highway heading to Tok. Just past Destruction Bay we stopped for the night at a roadside rest, knowing the road from there gets really rough and we thought it best to do that in […]
