At the end of June we are going to Alaska .
After flying into Anchorage we plan on renting our first car
(Ben is finally 25), and driving to Homer, where we’ll be tent-camping in
Mike’s back yard (Mike is a friend of Bek's who is so well traveled that she knows
people in Alaska--yep amazing).
In Homer we plan to go looking for wildlife in Katchemak Bay , go to the beach, and hang out in
town.
After Homer we’ll go to Seward where we want to see whales and possibly go
deep-sea fishing.
From Seward we’ll head to a fly fishing spot on the Anchor
river and its tributaries, hopefully finding a KOA or a cheap hotel to stay in
along the way.
After fishing for a day or two we’ll finish out the trip in Denali National
Park on a three day backpacking trip,
followed by
a stay in whatever hotel Denali can boast.
Nothing ever goes as planned but I'm ready for the next summer adventure in the mountains.
