THE BACK .0040

Tuesday ~ June 17, 2008
Over 6 years in the thought process...after taking out a few small sickly evergreens in the back .0040...and 4 days in the making, FINALLY the work of cleaning out rocks, stumps, putting in edging, planting...and now watering, that little section of our property is now looking kinda spiffy. Still rocks to throw back onto the plastic and more digging, smoothing to do AND cleaning out behind the shed, but that can wait for a bit as there are other projects pending...like vacuuming...and consolidating scrapbooking supplies that are scattered all over the guest bedroom***just in case we have company sometime this summer.
A beautiful day...low 80's and sunny with a breeze.

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.
