Packed up and headed south towards Seward. Stopped in to a place called Humpy's for lunch in Anchorage. We ordered a halibut burger and a reindeer burger and split them so we could both try them. That freakin' halibut burger was $20 and the bun was much bigger than the piece of fish they put… Continue reading Riverbed Camping – Kenai Fjords

Magic Bus #142
I made us a big camp breakfast this morning - pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs with maple syrup. Brian seemed to approve. 😉 We were moving a little slower today and got a later start. Eventually, we headed out and went to Denali park, walked around the visitor center, then started driving to the savage… Continue reading Magic Bus #142
A Spectacular Ascent – Exceeding Expectations
We reached the brunch/lunch stop (about a 3 hour hike) around 10:30. It was fun to watch Brian's excitement while on the trail. Not sure which is more enjoyable. Me doing it myself or watching him and his excitement about it. 😉 He cooked up some of his dehydrated breakfast stuff, which I have to… Continue reading A Spectacular Ascent – Exceeding Expectations
A Good Friend Comes To Visit
Drove up to Fairbanks and arrived around 10:00am. Found a place to do laundry and knocked that out. Then I went to the sporting goods warehouse and picked up some bear spray and rain pants. I started getting alerts that Brian's plane was going to land sooner than scheduled and realized I wouldn't have time… Continue reading A Good Friend Comes To Visit
Just Another Day of Hiking
Woke up later than I wanted. Heated up the tater/spam hash I made yesterday and had that for breakfast. Got started up the trail at 10:40. I saw two people up ahead of me and I didn't want them getting to the top and chasing away the dall sheep, so I hiked as fast as… Continue reading Just Another Day of Hiking
Dall Sheep
Mixed up a man size mountain skillet for breakfast. That was onion, potatoes, and spam. Mmmm mmmm. Good! Got an early start today and was hitting the trail at 8:45. It took me 3 hours to hike up to the top. When I got to the top and crested the peak, I saw a bunch… Continue reading Dall Sheep
Bison Gulch Trail
Loaded up the bigger back pack with my soup thermos full of chicken stew, my rain gear, and about a gallon of water and hit the dusty trail. It was hot and sunny today. Hiked WAY up the trail for about 3 hours. I started at 8:45 and hit what I thought was the top… Continue reading Bison Gulch Trail
Seward Alaska and the Kenai Fjords
Woke up and made some coffee. Called Mom & Dad to check in, because it's been a while and Dad has been sending me messages. We chatted for about an hour and then I continued along my way. Ended up in Anchorage I think around 10:30am or so. Got some gas, got some much needed… Continue reading Seward Alaska and the Kenai Fjords
Living in a Postcard
Woke up. Obviously I woke up. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing this. 😉 Had some grits mixed with dried potatoes and a little chicken bouillon for breakfast. Heated up some leftover soup that I had and put it in the soup thermos for later. Made some coffee and enjoyed it by the lake. I like… Continue reading Living in a Postcard
Here’s Your Boots
Woke up to the sound of fishing boats motoring around and an airplane doing laps overhead. Had some breakfast, then broke camp. Headed into town to get a shower and do laundry. After that I went to the outfitter store in town and picked up a new pair of boots. I found a pair of… Continue reading Here’s Your Boots
