Follow me, Miss B, our two cats (Dora and Boog, aka. The Misfit Crew) on our crazy epic adventures aboard the SV Haven, a 38' Kadey-Krogen.
When people talk about Maine, they often mention the beauty of the ragged coast line or the changing colors of the foliage in the fall. They often will mention lobster and ....Acadia Narional Park. Located on Mount Deset Island (primarily), the park is open to 3.5 million people annually (per their website) and provides some… Continue reading Acadia and beyond!
The Fox's Hollow yurt One of the things we really wanted to do during #roadtrip2021 was to really find something different. Well, mission accomplished! Don't forget to duck when heading out! Mount Desert Island is home to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, the MDI marathon (run by Barbara in 2012), Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and… Continue reading Yurt Life
Back at the Denali Outdoor Center again - people are starting to recognize me... and it feels good
Got up and drove around Valdez for a little bit before departing. Then drove to Blueberry Lake and scooped up some water out of the lake and made coffee with it. Then drove to Paxson, made a hard left, and continued on for a couple of hours. I knew I was going to be staying… Continue reading Staying Over on the Denali Highway
Kinda hard to cook in the rain. Kinda hard to do anything in the rain, really. I drove over to the Allison point area on the other side ofValdez bay and came across salmon trying to swim up into a drainage pipe. Crazy stuff. The salmon are everywhere now! Then I noticed a bunch of… Continue reading Mussel Chowder
I Â remember checking the time around 3:06am and thinking yeah! Only about 45 minutes to go. Then I laid there for what seemed like forever and checked the time again and it was 3:16am. Hehehe. I must have finally dozed off though because the alarm woke me. Then I continued to lay there and dozed… Continue reading Waterfall Happy Place
Well now. I decided today that I'd take the denali highway to valdez. So, I packed up and headed out. I got about 30 miles down the denali highway when I stopped to take a picture and noticed on the dash an alert saying LR tire pressure low. So, I got out to check it… Continue reading The Best Laid Plans
We slept in till about 8:30 - we might have hit the whiskey a little hard last night. I could tell this was one of those days I'd be "easing into the morning". While we sat there we wondered what to do next. Brain mentioned that it wouldn't be so bad to just hang out… Continue reading Fire Starter
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
Made bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast. Went to Denali park and drove as far as we could. Checked out the visitor center. It was kinda grey and not very good for looking at scenery. This is the night I made beef stew. I used some frozen beef fajita meat that was $8.50 at walmart!… Continue reading Exploring Denali Park
