Our Alaska adventure parting thoughts and stats

September 16, 2012 12 Comments

Above is Our Alaska Adventure Route, the red pins on our way in and the purple ones on our way out. Exploring Alaska on our first year of full-timing was considered ambitious and brave by some of our friends.  But we’re so glad we did it!  The experience taught us so much in a very short time.  We learned to navigate tight […]

Northern Exposure – Talkeetna, Alaska

While  roaming around Denali National Park, we hoped that we would not be one of the 30% of visitors who won’t see Denali. It turns out all we had to do was move on to the next destination, and viola! Her magnificent beauty appeared behind the clouds. Denali showed its awesome beauty with just a few cloud cover. We were […]

We took off from […]

July 11, 2012 3 Comments

Having heard that made us smile for that is exactly what we had been experiencing since we arrived here. It is summer  yet […]

Mt Denali

During the next few days we will be at Healy, which is about 11 miles north of the entrance to Denali National Park. We are spending several days here as there is so much to explore, see and experience. One thing of note though is that every morning is a surprise in terms of weather.  We wake up in sunshine […]

The Lowes

Lowe's RV Adventures

We (Steve and Mona Liza) retired early at the beginning of 2012, sold our house and almost all of our belongings and moved into our RV. We are pursuing our dream of traveling the U.S. and Canada for several years and seeing everything and everyplace we can.
