We thoroughly enjoyed our return trip to Talkeetna and the flight around Denali the mountain. We are in Lake Clark now having an awesome time. We will be posting Lake Clark and Katmai separately at the end of the week.
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.
Ireland
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.
Muxia
Thank you all for following along on this wonderful journey. We do plan to do a recap post once we get home. This afternoon we are off to Dublin for 3 nights, then home to Phoenix on Monday.
Fisterra
This amazing journey continues to the “end of land” – the peninsula of Finisterra (town of Fisterra). Cooper and I walked the 55 miles from Santiago. Click below to see our recap of the past few days.
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.
Santiago
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.
Triacastela to O Coto
We continue to have great weather. We love the Galician countryside. Click below to read about what we have been up to.
Las Herrerias to Triacastela
We have had another great couple of days weather wise. Click below to read up on our latest adventures.
Foncebadon to Las Herrerias
The weather two days ago was 36 degrees, foggy with a breeze as we crossed the ridge along the Cruz de Ferro. A few hours later and 2,900 feet lower it was in the mid 80s and sunny as we walked from Molinaseca to Ponferrada. Crazy. It has stayed sunny and very warm the past two days.
