Driving the Alaskan Highway was quite an experience. After making the over 3,000 mile trek, Ben said that when we move back to the lower 48, we're just getting rid of everything and flying back. But, honestly, I enjoyed the drive enough that I'd do it again next summer. The final stats for our … Continue reading Driving the Alaskan Highway
Sorrynotsorry about the whole never posting thing. I've definitely been a slacker the past couple months...but I do feel like I have a valid excuse. The past 2 months have completely flown by.

The village's little store is the only spot you can buy stuff-but the selection is limited. However, we are soooooo lucky that we live in a day and … Continue reading Packing for the Bush
The truth is, I didn't know a whole lot about Alaska before we started researching it. I could name about 5 towns in the state and I knew it was cold. Other than that-nothing. If there's one thing I now know, it's that the state is jam-packed with towns. Teeny, tiny, probably-never-heard-of-it towns/villages. And so, … Continue reading Our Journey to Pilot Point(aka:PIP)
