Land of the Klondike~Dawson City

June 12~Tuesday~Cloudy...rainy...sunny. Coffee done...lights outside...time for Stan. Downtown bound for information about the area and checking out the sights. Told myself I'd not buy books this trip so...I bought books***about the Klondike gold rush and stern-wheelers***and taking pictures of the SS Keno, falling down buildings, Robert Service's cabin and the Yukon from on top of Dome Mountain...quite a sight! Blooie and I wanted to go on a Yukon boat tour, but it was already filled...so the next best thing to do was EAT ICE CREAM. Now we prepare for Top of the World Highway in the morning. Still trying for those pictures...

Talkeetna purchase

We bought land about 15 miles SW of Talkeetna, Alaska...on e-bay...sight unseen! in 2006. I probably wouldn't recommend doing that for everyone, but we were blessed it was legal...and now have good neighbors in the north, too. In fact, one of our neighbors built a 250 foot road with a turn-around into our place and we could stay on our land part of the summer. Of course, then there was the flood with the washing out of the only good road leading to Malispina Loop, so had to wait to start back to MT for a few days until that was repaired and we could retrieve our cargo trailer, since we had left it on our land while down on the Kenai.

Welcome to the travels of John and Chrysa

We leave on June 6th so are in the process of thinking about getting ready. Actually, I've had stacks here and there all winter, but don't know if that'll save me time or not. I have washed and waxed the fronts of the camper (slide-in with tip-out) and under the overhead so all the bugs we hit can have a spot now. It was fairly crowded before starting...but I always use 'Black streak remover'~ if you haven't tried it, do...it's awesome! I'm going to give getting pictures on here a whirl in the near future...just hoping it's nearer (didn't have problems) than farther (had problems) away.
