the weather has been awesome. They are saying that it is the best summer they have had in 10 years. We had some rainy days on the inside passage which we expected but beautiful weather in the Kenai. It was in the 70s today. We actually had our shorts on for a couple of days this week. The...

Fairbanks is as far north as we'll go. Mike's seen enough Ice Road Truckers episodes to know the road north from there by heart!

Well here we are at the turn around point in our trip (7360 miles to this point). We arrived at Homer, AK yesterday and went right to Land's End. That way we can say we drove as far as we could before turning for home. We'll stay her 4 days and then drive to Palmer and then Denali. We'll poke...

Debbie and Steve, we live in FL and it was Benn and Meribeth who gave us a tour of their tear before we bought. Great couple and I know Silver Girl will be a joy for you to own. I'm originally from Upper Marlboro. Mike

Jenn, That's funny!! Carol

Jenn, did Craig write this note for you? (new folks - inside joke, ask Betsey when you see her). Speaking of mileage, we're getting about 17.7 overall according to the Honda computer. I got much better mileage on the ferry. Carol will do the Village backing in. That way I have someone to blame...

Susan and Alan, we'll be back in mid Sept. That'll be about 100 or so teardrop nights. Jenn what's that in td years? Mike

Well we have completed the Inside Passage. It was a wonderful experience and the Teardrop is the perfect camper to do it in. Mike will put in a separate section tips on what we learned by going on the Inside Passage. See our cute little Raindrop nestled in between the trucks. He had to back...

Where's Alaska? Just kidding. We use allstays which has been great for this trip. It has phone numbers, maps,etc

Re: 2010 560 Ultra Raindrop For Sale SOLD Benn, you'll always be welcome as long as you bring the beer! Mike

That's pretty cool.

Frank, All our trips have been pretty short so far so we just slept in the recliners. Our next one to Whittier is two nights so we are getting a room but quite honestly the deck didn't look too bad. They have a solarium where they have pool deck chairs and people were sleeping on those with...

Sorry I am behind with my blogs--part of the problem is trying and getting the pics up here too. (Carol patiently waiting for ferry) (Poor lil Crab Pot on big ole ferry) We are about finished with the inside passage and it has been an awesome trip. I am so glad we decided to...

Jenn, you should know, it's what you didn't see down south! By the way, here's a link for all to check out the Anan Observatory. It's the reason we stopped in Wrangell but, as I said, the fish are late so the tour won't run until next week. Bummer...check out these photos and if anyone is...

The Anan Observatory is what this stop is all about. Up close and personal with feeding browns and blacks. But we'll miss it. I would stop for that tour in the future. Mike

Well we are having a slow day in Wrangle. The ferry schedule required a 3 day stop here but I would avoid it in the future. 3 tours were of interest to us but one to see the bears at AnAn observatory doesn't start til next week (no bears because no fish yet) and the other was to a glacier and it...

OK, I finally added some pics. Not really in order since the bear was somewhere in Canada but neat picture. The rest are from here at Ketchikan. We leave tomorrow for Wrangle. Note how close the eagle was to the boy. Also, can you count the eagles in the tree? My caption on the brown eagle is...

And let me tell you about last eve. Someone told Mike that at the end of the road the other way (the road is maybe 25 miles from end to end with Ketchikan in the middle) he saw some bears. Well we rode out there about 6pm and found the most intriguing sight. A bridge over a small stream was...
