Travel Stories - July 2023
On the Banks of the Chena River
I took a leisurely stroll around the grounds of the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge, where I 'discovered' frontier cabins and a bear cache, and experienced the quiet beauty of the Chena River. It was a memorable experience!
A Stroll Through the Golden Heart of Alaska
I took a leisurely stroll around the grounds of the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge, where I 'discovered' frontier cabins and a bear cache, and experienced the quiet beauty of the Chena River. It was a memorable walk!
The Spirits Moved Me!
By chance, I read a blog about 'must sees' in Fairbanks, and that led me to Fairbanks Distilling Company, where I had an awesome experience - a tour and tasting of a couple of 'spirits' that moved me!
Rollin' Down the River
Jill and I relaxed on board Discovery III, a modern-day sternwheeler - a 3 hour cruise along the picturesque Chena River. We stopped at a sled dog kennel and toured an Indian village.  We had a great time!
From Fairbanks to Denali
Come along for a ride with Jill and me as we make our way from Fairbanks to Denali, where we learned how to make dichroic glass jewelry - a prelude to exploring Denali National Park...and an even greater adventure.
Into a Vast and Rugged Wilderness
Jill and I ventured into Denali National Park on the Tundra Wilderness Tour - our second time in 8 months. I'll never grow tired of seeing this vast and rugged wilderness - The Last Frontier!
Four-Wheeling in Healy
I went four-wheeling along miles of trails in the back country of Alaska, where I saw beautiful scenery, rode along a riverbed, and learned a bit of Native lore. It was a blast!
