Arrived in Alaska at our Site

After our planning for a vacation to Alaska turned into a workamping opportunity, we've arrive at our site outside of Wasilla, AK! This is our first trip to "The Last Frontier", and we couldn't be happier with the way things went with our drive and the experiences to get here.

For those of you who need something to help you sleep at night your can read my Alaska 2013 blog. I've been a little longwinded on it to help appease my grown kids' curiosities. And if that doesn't bore you enough, you can rack your eyeballs by viewing pics at my Alaska Photos.

The only real issue we had is a tire on our 5W go flat in Valdez with a nail puncture. And it must have happened within a block of the campground we stayed at as it was inflated when we pulled in. The Milepost 2013 for all intense and purposes was spot on, and I highly recommend it.

    Being stuck in Houston for the next several weeks, all I can say is that I'm jealous....your pictures of the glaciers, Pioneer Peak, and the Chugach (as well as Anderson Lake and environs) are the PA12's backyard.

    Take a left turn when flying to the Knik Glacier and in 10 minutes over the mountains (even in a slow cub) you're over my cabin.

    Hey, sounds like a great adventure. Enjoy the heck out of the season, get lots more pictures, and do watch out for the skeeters that have been accused of dragging away cows.

    Very nice photos and narrative of your trip so far. Always fun to look at the photos taken by people to see what has impressed them the most.

    Wow! What a wonderful blog and gorgeous pictures! You've landed yourselves a great workamping gig!! It's neat that you've seen the countryside covered in snow and you'll gradually get to experience more of its beauty as the snow melts. Looking forward to reading of your Denali trip. Have a great summer...you're off to a good start. Wish we were there once again.
