Now over half way to Bellingham and who cares how nasty the weather gets! Wrangell, like it or not, these two ex-patriats are coming back.
Of course, our truck looks like Herman and Lily Munster meets Jed and Granny Clampett but it gives the people on the road something to talk about. And we get another adventure. Love to all the CD folks out there but especially all our new "neighbors" in Alaska. Will update as connectivity allows. See ya in the funny papers.

SOOOO jealous.

We would've risked the winter drive but still can't leave until we sell our stuff and that won't happen till the weather clears here. Plus we still have my Mustang to sell and nobody will buy it when the weather is for crap hence we are stuck here for 4 months :-)

Hope you have a blast getting there but definitely drive carefully!!!

Definitely need a picture of the truck, that is some description you gave, and we've moved a few times like that also

Guess they would be catching this Friday afternoon Alaska ferry from Bellingham, couple days ride up to Wrangle

Don't bother washing that truck til about June..

Hey guys....I see she's a great cook and she keeps a bottle of Wild Turkey handy, maybe we can learn a few things from her.

Wrangle ain't bad at all....I'm in there regularly in the summer now that our new ferry stops in there twice everyday

I spent a year in Wrangell back in '79'. I loved that place yet haven't made it back since.
