Motorhome gets stuck in lane, chicks dig Alaska

Sorry for not post a blog entry for several entire months…a lot has been going on. I am almost finished with our next book, “Return to Alaska”. We were in PA for awhile, and finally left for AK somewhere around the week after tax season. We had a fairly uneventful 4,000 mile drive. I managed […]

Marlene refuses to let dead coyote ride shotgun

Sad to say, our pig hunt was a failure. No wild hogs showed up. However, a coyote that looked like a wild hog did. Around midnight I got up, worried that while I was trying to sleep herds of wild pigs were milling around the chicken house. It was a brisk 39 degrees, and wearing […]

Books sale are unbelievable, sold out for the moment

I want to say a big “Thank You” to everyone who has ordered books! We are sold out of books, and I have placed an order for several thousand with a publisher located in New York.

Busted in Minnesota, free pass through Canada

People keep wondering how we are doing, and if that laptop did end up under the trailer tires. The good news is we made it to Alaska, I’m actually warming up to Windows 8 a little, the bad news is we got a ticket along the way. (not for speeding, with that huge trailer) I […]

On the way home to Alaska, small portable toilet is a huge hit

Sunday afternoon we finally left Middleburg, Pa, for Anchor Point, Alaska. Currently we are camping somewhere in Wisconsin. If you ever drive through here, make sure to stop at “Culvers”, it’s the best fast food place I have ever eaten at. The chain is mostly located in Wisconsin. Due to snow concerns on the Alcan […]
