We're rested up and back to traveling!!











WE have finally rested up, put our stuff in storage, put a new floor in the Scotty, and screwed the sides back together, and we're on the road again. We are looking for a small town in which to finally settle, and decided to go to Hope Alaska and check it out. Well, it is small!! Only 150 people in the town. No gas station. In the middle of nowhere! They do have a library, coffee shop, post office and an rv place. Everything but the rv park is staffed by volunteers, so not one place was open. The public restrooms are port-a-potties. One thing that makes Hope great is the view of the mountains and water.

We decided to go on to Kenai, and will be staying here a couple of days. We want to check out the area, and we have two bolts to replace on the hitch. Somehow they came off and are lost forever.

Jackie, you would love this area...no interstate highways. And roads that go only God knows where!! We won't be checking them out on this trip, as we want to go to Homer and Seward to see the glaciers.

Miss you all, love to you all

Only 1200 Miles More To Go




We almost stopped in Dawson Creek for the night as they were having an outdoor concert, but the sky looked like rain, so we decided to just take pics and go on to the next town. The road here to Ft Nelson, BC was mostly smooth..there were a few rough spots but for the most part roads were smooth. Lisa almost hit 2 different sets of deer, and we managed to see 2 moose and 1 bear on this route. No mosquitoes tho!! Weather is a wonderful 70 degrees, and we were able to turn off the air-conditioning. Gas is running $1.40 to $1.49 a liter (and there are 5 liters in a gallon)

A trucker asked us how many tires on the little scottie we had had to change, and when we told him we had changed none, he was astonished. I guess we must be doing something right, or someone or something upstairs is watching over us.

It's fairly amazing to us that everything is going so well, but we're coping!
