Palmer to Our Land

July 7 ~ Saturday ~ cloudy/rainy.
Adams and Jensons are headed to Anchorage and Girdwood for the day...was really good to meet Chuck, Jodie and teens. They will be leaving next weekend so will not see them again this trip. We are on our way to Talkeetna via shopping and visiting in Wasilla...Freddies (for picture printing and groceries~still no Marv and Wilma) and to Jim/Kay’s for visiting, washing clothes and spaghetti. It was so good of them to invite us in...like long-lost friends...since we had just met her last year and only for a brief time. Met their two dogs and two cats, which I DID NOT PET AT ALL. After leaving town for the second time (forgot the pictures...duh!) we arrive at our land about 8:30pm...and all is well. We do hear a generator so think our neighbors right to the south are here. Will be interesting meeting them...maybe tomorrow.

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.
