After leaving Ninilchik, we decided to stop in Palmer, just North of Anchorage. Our SOLE REASON for selecting Palmer is it is on the way to Valdez, and it is not Anchorage. OK, that’s 2 reasons. Now, it is not…
Salmonfest – Festival and Peripheral
After Seward and Whittier, we travelled onwards to Ninilchik, which is a little town on the west coast of the Kenai Peninsula. Our reason for being in Ninilchik was NOT because of the town, though. The annual “Salmonfest” Extravaganza was…
Seward –SWEET! Best Place Yet?
Our next stop was the town of Seward, also on the Kenai Peninsula. This is about 90 miles as the crow flies from Homer, but unfortunately, RV WHERE YET does not fly like a crow. So it was about 200…
Earthquake, Fishheads, Ferry Rides and Stalkers
Our next destination was at the very tip of the Kenai Peninsula – the town of Homer, Alaska. Their chamber of commerce calls it the Halibut Fishing Capital of the world; we don’t fish but imagined it as a Beach…

A Second Helping of Fairbanks

As Far as This Train Goes (EVER!)
Wiseman (and getting there) was ALL THAT AND MORE. “That” being the farthest North Point we are ever likely to reach in our lifetimes. “More” being, well, read on! First of all, with the road and the construction on said…
Everyone needs a Secret (Fairbanks) Weapon!
Click Here for Liz’s Thot of the Day We moved onwards from Chicken, with our first destination being Tok. There, it had been suggested we should purchase diesel at a good price and Steve found an RV Park with an…
Operation Chicken
I have previously mentioned Operation Chicken, a name coined by our ultimately unsuccessful Amazon Rep., in reference to her attempts to deliver orders to us in Chicken Alaska. But, the reason for our visit, the Music Festival “Chickenstock” was an…
