The drive up to Alaska this year was same-same-but-different, as we drove up through Alberta, going through Banff and Jasper National Parks. We’re definitely going to go back when we have more time, because SO AWESOME are the keywords for those parks. Also, SO CHILLY could be good keywords if you go there at the end of May:
This sign at a little gas station in the Yukon is really great, and confusing:
We drove more than 13 hours each day, and for a good seven hours of that Moma would stand in the backseat and rest her head on the seat, because she likes to see where we’re going. She was born to be a car-riding dog:
Since being here, Taylor and I have been busy little bees. We’ve helped set up the Bear Camp, train the new guides, and get our own place up to speed. We’re guiding a lot more this year since our guest numbers a re a bit low, and that’s been great. Every other week we take turns leading guests to Denali National Park- a long drive, but pretty durn fun. On one guide training trip we had our picture taken in front of a big ol’ glacier. And we realized that this was only the second time in our five years in Alaska where we are both in the same picture. We have more pictures of bears, dogs, and friends than we do of ourselves:
In Conclusion: I could blame my lack of writing on these pages to the busy pace of our lives right now, but that would only be half true; I am also getting bored with this blog. It’s become more of a chore than what it was when it started- a fun and funny diversion. My main reason for starting it up almost two years ago was to show you all what we do in Alaska, and I’ve done that, so I feel very repetitive doing it all over again (our lives don’t change that much up here). So this will be the last post. I like things that have a beginning, middle, and end; they feel much more complete, and this feels like the perfect time to stop.
