The weather was perfect – 12” of snow for the start of the Iditarod followed by a cloudless sky the following day for the drive down to Seward making for spectacular views. Day 3 we took a 3 ½ hour tour on a boat. Our captain mentioned ifContinue reading “Kenai Fjords”

At first Elizabeth did not think Alaska and winter would fit into her plans, but she is truly excited now to venture off to the great white north. Fairbanks is supposed to stay above zero all thisContinue reading “Alaska”

Our third road trip in the past 11 months is now in the rear view mirror. All three of us have really enjoyed driving around seeing the beautiful sites and meeting many wonderful people that call this great country home. It is amazing to me how resilient our society is, as we did this allContinue reading “Roaming Rangeley Recap”

We had another great visit with our Amish friends in Ohio. Rangeley didn’t get to swim, but he did visit 3 different farms and was fine around all the animals. He was a bit hesitant around a 1 year old and a 2 year old but quickly warmed up to the mini humans. He hasContinue reading “Millersburg, Ohio”

We had a great time visiting family in Vermont, the state we both grew up in. This was Rangeley’s 40th state visited! He will visit 5 more new states on the drive home.

Acadia is very dog friendly and even though it is one on the 10 most visited parks we found lots of placesContinue reading “Acadia”

Our wonderful journeys continues. The past few days we have been “hanging out” on the Appalachian Trail visiting and assisting the hiking community. I had met many hikers during my short section hike through Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York but really enjoyed a recently retired couple – Metta and Grasshopper. Elizabeth hit it offContinue reading “Appalachian Trail – Phase 1”

We have had a great time in Maine so far. We lived here for four years back in the 80s.

Our trail activities will be a separateContinue reading “Freeport Maine”
