Benn, I bet the skeeters at Lake Griffen were worse than anything we'll find up there. And of course they were accompinied by a world record hatching of Love Bugs when you were here! Love Bugs, now that will generate some questions from our distant tear droppers! Let's see what pops up here. Mike

Just to add on to Jenn's night launch shots, here are some pictures of Meribeth, Benn and Carol at the same spot in Dec. Our night launches were cancelled but they agreed to to launch a nuclear sub from just across from the campground. The large crane you see is the same one in Jenn's pictures...

George, thanks. I've felt all along that a bear likens a teardrop to a can of tuna. A little harder to open than a candy bar wrapper - but not much! I did notice that we were adjoining tears in the nest but we didn't pick ours up until the day before the CICO. I'm sure you were their a week or...

George, that is such a nice offer. We should be up there around the first of Aug so when I get closer I'll give you a shout. In the meantime, any hints on how to avoid being bear dinner? Mike

"I had seen Raindrops before, but this was MY raindrop! I wanted to hug it, but wasn't exactly sure the best way to hug a Raindrop, so I refrained." And Cary would have yelled at you for smudging the surface! Great stuff and I hope you have as much fun as we do. Mike and Carol

Wish we could make it. Sounds like fun. May be we can make the 2nd one.

OK Gang, here's my travel update: Drive from Fl starting late in May. Do some family visits as we head for Canada. Stop in Necedah, probably 1st week of June, for Crab Pot check up. Enjoy a couple of weeks of travel through the Canadian Rockies. Meet the Alaska Marine Ferry in Prince Rubert...

Re: Look what I found Great find Duke. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure their adventures will be a big help to us. We plan a similiar journey, up the Inside Passage to Whittier and drive out from the top. It'll take awhile to sort through their adventures but it should be fun. Mike

Re: Look what I found I thought about towing it as a "photo op" and I think I could get it moving but it was the stopping that worried me! So I'll just go with a static set up. We do have a lot of golf here. 11 27 hole championship course and 30 9 hole executive course. All spread over 3...

Hi AJ, We are still planning on going to Jetty Park in March. We are on Site 238 and the Aaronson's are on Site 225. Our site is across from the Campstore and the bathhouse is behind us. There are spots out by the water but they have no electric or water. We really enjoyed this...

Re: Look what I found Sure looks like it ...... unless this is what a Honda looks like after a big brown bear finishes looking for snacks! Mike

I was doing a little research on campgrounds at various stops along the Inside Passage and look what I found! This is from a campground brochure in Juneau. Mike OK, I think my Village friends are getting a little jealous of out TD sub culture. They've started sending thing like the new attachement!

OK, here's some sobering facts about travel in Alaska - ref bears! This is not going to stop me but I think I'll look like a modern day Poncho Villa with pepper spray cans slung all around me...

Duke, I thought about that and may do it sometime. But for now I put a small cooler and the bags we take to the shower in the corners. This has helped hold down the tent so far. We had a really windy night at the Cape last week and finally decided to take the tent down as a precaution but it...

Jean, I just heard that Jenn might make it. Delay a few days, let the snow stop falling and give the ice time to melt up in MN and enjoy some more sunshine at the Cape. My guess it will be 80 - 85 then! Mike

"Slit my throat with the broken shards of glass"!! Michelle, you've been watching too many Amityville movies! Why don't you and AJ come down for the Cruise Inn at the Cape. Relax and get away from the big city woes. Of course you have to survive I95! Mike

Oly, yea you're right. I remember my uncles going coon hunting in MD when I was a kid on the farm. Those old Bluetick(sp) and Walker coon hounds would be really messed up if they cornered a coon or one was shot out of the tree but not exacly dead yet. Battle scars my uncle called them. Mike

We just spent a great few days with Benn and Meribeth at a neat campground located on the ocean and inlet where the Port Canaveral cruise ships sail from. We've decided to go back on March 22 to 24 to attend an airshow in nearby Titusville. That led to an idea to have a mini gathering - call it...

Doug, we are still in the planning stage for our trip to Alaska this summer but I think I've changed my mind about the Inside Passage. It makes more sense to take the ferry on the front end. That way if our driving trip is cut short or we want to extend our stay, we'll be more flexible if we...

That's on our bucket list, too. We can't do it this year but would love to do it next year.
