We stayed this past week at Deception Pass State Park on the Northern Washington coastline. Deception Pass is an extremely picturesque area of old-growth forest in what is really a pretty populated area of Whidbey Island. The park offers stunning views of the Puget Sound region, has it’s fair share...
We ended up returning to our favorite place to date for a few days of relaxation before working our way back into Anchorage to prepare for the return trip through Canada. Hope, Alaska has ranked as our #1 spot ever since out first visit there (and more). A small fishing...
Upon arriving in Homer we drove straight to our designated campground at Mariner Park. It is not much more than a gravel lot at the beginning of the Spit but not only was the location great for an easy jump into town or the Spit itself, the view stretched across...
It was a possibility to drive all the way into Kenai after leaving Hope. The choice had not been made until just 30 miles shy of arriving in the Kenai area. Instead of going all the way into the city for the weekend, we would stop at one of the...
We met back up with the Malimish and UpInTheAirstream families at the Anchorage Moose Lodge for a few days of relaxing while we awaited the mail to be forwarded. As it turned out, this Moose Lodge was a very happenin’ place, with patrons at the bar from open to close...

Before leaving the Banff area we set out to see one final lake that everyone spoke so highly of. It was another that we could not get too the first time we tried thanks to the weekend tourist traffic, but on a weekday evening after 7pm, things were much more...
Over the weekend we tried to visit Lake Louise, both to kayak and to simply see this extremely picturesque lake. Unfortunately, we were not alone in thinking such thoughts. We spent over an hour trying to find a place to park to no avail. I ended up parking the truck...
