And we off part 2


From Savannah we headed south to Florida. After staying a night at a truck stop (we are legitimate boondockers) went to the Mike Roess Golden Head campground. Enjoyed swimming and meeting very friendly neighbors who invited us to a blue grass event in April. After leaving that campground we did a night of dispersed camping and then stayed a night in the Ocala National Forrest. We got to swim with the alligators in their famous springs and rejuvenated ourselves. 


Then it was off to sleep at a vineyard courtesy of Harvest Host (thank you Canadians that we met in Paris for reminding us about Harvest Host). Dan sacrificed himself to do the wine tasting and Finn had a blast feeding their fish!



On Sunday 3/26/17 Ailish went to her first Mets game with Grandma and cousins. Finn's critique of the game was "too hot and too long". During the game Franklin had a play date with another beagle. 



After the game we headed off to Dupuis Management Area a beautiful and FREE campground. We stayed the night and then it was off to Boyton Beach. We did some of our running around and boondocked at a Farmers market (thanks again Harvest Host). 



Currently off to Marathon in the keys  (listening to Jimmy Buffet as we type this which seems appropriate 😀)

      These signs seemed to be everyone we went swimming. It made us feel safe- no alligators were seen while we were swimming.

Valdez & Haines

Image
---Current location Prescott Valley Arizona--- 8/5 Woke up in Valdez and decided to explore the town after we did some much needed laundry and shopping. We stopped at their Gold Rush Festival which was small and then did a scoot around the town and Marina. After that we decided to head to Dayville Road to do a little fishing for salmon since we had yet to catch any in Alaska. Dan and Finn set out with poles and boy did they have luck. They caught 15 Salmon and certainly could have caught more. It was easy to snag the fish at this location because they spawn back to a hatchery located there. Since we were leaving Alaska in two days and had a freezer full of Halibut we shipped 17 pounds of Pink Salmon to the Worth Family. After a successful fishing afternoon we relaxed at Ruth Pond swimming and playing. We left that evening via the Richardson Highway and started to make our way to Haines to catch our Ferry. We did a quick stop at what we thought was a cave along the highway but turn...

Missoula & Flatland Lakes

Image
---Current location road to Denali Alaska--- 6/8 We left West Glacier around 2pm and started to make our way down to Missoula. We are heading there to pick up a swing away hitch from the UPS store there. We slept  at a Walmart  in a beautiful area in the flatland lakes.  Then headed out the next am to make our way into Missoula.  Had a great breakfast sandwich from the Biscuit in Arlee. We then made our way to visit the new location of the  SpectrUm museum. Kicked off with a free ice cream cone and then headed into the science museum. Finn's favorite exhibit was a sand pit that had a topographic map projected onto it. Which you could change the landscape by moving your hand through the sand.  After we went to UPS store picked up our hitch (which didn't work 😬) and then headed to a Monster Truck show! Let's just say Finn absolutely loved the show. He was screaming and giggling with delight. His favorite were the motorcycle stunts. Ailish...

Portage Valley, Whittier, Girdwood & Anchorage

Image
---Current location Corvallis Oregon --- 7/25-7/31 We came into Portage Valley in the early evening and found a great place lakeside to free dock for the night. The next day we decided to head to Whittier. The only road that goes to Whittier is a single lane train tunnel. The tunnel was originally built for trains but has been converted to allow vehicles to utilize it as well. Cars and trains take turns going through the tunnel. Going through a train tunnel is really neat. As we approached Whittier a train was waiting Its turn. After walking the town of Whittier we headed back to our free dock place for the night. Finn made a Swiss friend named Thomas  (he and his partner were camping there too) and then we left the next morning to tackle the world famous hand tram trail in Girdwood. It's a 2.25 mile trail (RT) that crosses the Winner Creek Gorge but you can only cross the gorge by a small hand tram. We all enjoyed the hike and really liked this two person tram. After t...
