The Scotts; Surely a couple with extremely short Bucket Lists. Who else would take off driving for Alaska, after spending the (northern hemisphere's) winter on the Antarctic?
Many thanks for sharing the trip with the rest of us. It would have been nice to share your company in Winterset, Iowa this past weekend, but I understand that you're off pursuing grander goals than that.

Wow - Wow - Wow! What a breath-taking trip and great pics! Alaska is one trip I've always wanted to go and one day, someday, I will go. I cannot just imagined how beautiful Alaska is. There is so much to see beside whales..... Once again, thanks for sharing.

Glad to see the post and great pictures, I thought you might have gotten lost.

I to am glad to see some more postings and that you are ok. I was hoping it was a part of the internet being a bit scattered up here. Laura and I are in Anchorage now, but in our travels we have had limited cell coverage in a few places. We haven't been as remote as some of the places you are going through in Canada.

I see in the news this morning that the Ferry boat workers union is striking. I hope they get it resolved quickly for you to make your connection work out of Whittier.

Just not getting used to the sun being up so late, glad all the places we have stayed have the block out shades or drapes, sun still shining at 10:15 last night and finally set a little after 11, still plenty light even though the sun was down.

Later,
