Home

We spent 2 nights in Palm Springs and got home 9/17.  The trip was 10,236 miles.  It was exhausting but all in all a real life experience.  I just finished a book on life in Alaska in the early 1900's and understood it much better, knowing what a Ulu, perma frost, and underground native homes were.  I feel like I know Alaska, its beauty and wildlife.  3 months well spent.

 There must have been a fishing tournament.  The river had more traffic than the road.
