My #2 daughter advised that the best way for me to keep in touch is to open & continuously update this site. So here goes…I left So Cal last Wed, 4/23, for #4 daughter’s graduation from BYU. All of her siblings were there…3 sisters & a brother. My ex was there so it made for a wonderful reunion.
I’m now in Erie Colorado with #2. However #1 daughter, #3 and #4 all live in the Denver area. I’ll be staying with #1 & her 4 children (ages 12, 9, 7 & 5) for the week after this.
Then I leave for my wonderful trip up the Alcan Highway continuing to the North Slope, through most of Alaska, the Yukon & British Columbia. To do that I have a 2005 GMC 1 ton turbo diesel with 4 wheel drive & dual rear wheels. It is fitted with an Arctic Fox 1150 cab over camper. It also has airbags to support the weight & drives like a dream. It has already taken me on Route 66, the complete Lincoln Highway, The Mormon Battalion Trek, the complete Lewis & Clark Journey & the Pacific Coast Highways from San Diego to the Canadian border.
I was fortunate to survive a stroke that left me unable to use my left arm, which is a minor inconvenience, and a weak left leg. This has allowed me the opportunity to really bond with my children & my 7 grandchildren. The travel has always been a dream…so I’m living a dream.
More to comeĀ
Can’t wait to start getting reports about your Alaskan adventures!
