Kobuk Valley National Park

Another amazing adventure visiting our wonderful National Parks. The Parks are amazing, but the journeys we have been on are incredible. Kobuk and Gates draw the true Park chasers, so it is fun for us to meet people just as _____ as us. I will let you fill in the adjective there. (adventurous/obsessed….) We also love meeting the locals at the Parks in the remote locations – Northern Alaska and American Samoa. These Parks tend to be at the end of peoples list as they take quite an effort to get to. American Samoa was our 5th Park visited, which is quite unusual. Elizabeth had a job in Hawaii in January 2020, so I met here there and we flew from Honolulu to Pago Pago, American Samoa to visit that Park.

We hope you enjoy reading about Kobuk. It has been 2 years since we last visited a new Park. Today we flew into Denali (a repeat visit) and tomorrow we fly into Lake Clark for 6 nights, including visiting Katmai. We will be posting again soon. Thanks for reading.

G – OK, we have been a bit slow posting this one. We had a great couple of days in Dublin, what an amazing journey, start to finish. I left Phoenix on April 10th and got home June 17th. Now in a few days we are off to Alaska continue our National Parks. We will be posting those as we go. Thanks for following along.

O Coto to Santiago

Elizabeth and I walked into Santiago early in the morning on June 6th. Cooper and Chelsea were there to greet us. Click below to read about our last 3 days into Santiago.

Cooper and I walked out to Fisterra and met up with Elizabeth and Chelsea this morning (June 9). We walked 48 miles the first two days, leaving just 7 this morning to get to town, so we arrived before 9AM leaving us a full day in town. We will post again in a couple days with a full recap.

We arrived in Santiago this morning and have had a great day. I am not posting tonight and tomorrow Cooper and I head out to walk to Fisterra. Elizabeth and Chelsea are taking the bus. It is currently 9:45PM and we are about to head back out to listen to some live music by the cathedral. Tomorrow Cooper and I have a 21 mile walk. We will post in 3 days when C and I arrive in Fisterra.
