Toledo has a history full of pioneers, railroads, and legends that you probably haven’t heard in the history books.

Stepping into the Tillamook Creamery is like entering a dairy wonderland.

Our journey back was a joyride, and we can’t wait to share some of the highlights with you!

There are many impressions Alaska has made on us. This is the second post in which we share our observations.

It would be a shame to get all the way to Fairbanks Alaska and not venture onto one of the most iconic roadways, the Dalton Highway

Our time in Alaska is ending. Our adventure will continue.

The journey to the Denali region in autumn was a slow and deliberate exploration, each mile revealing more of Alaska’s wilderness beauty.

It was wonderful to smell the sea air, hear the sound of water and gulls, and see the boats bobbing on the water...

In Alaska, getting someplace is as much part of an adventure as being someplace.

Finding the right words to describe our Alaskan adventure is becoming increasingly challenging.

One thing that never entered our mind was that we would be writing about the subject of permafrost. Perma-what?

The past few days found us repeatedly expressing awe as we witnessed scenic panoramas of mountain-river-lake-glacier country like we’ve neve

Our travel narrative today was illustrated with images of lakes, cattle ranches, and lumber yards—the pillars of the region’s identity.

We embarked on our journey to Alaska. Today, we crossed the border in Sumas, Washington and entered Huntingdon, British Columbia. (Border Crossing) The Canada Border Services Agency welcomed us with routine inquiries: our destination (Fairbanks), our last visit to Canada (a distant memory, roughly 15 years ago), and our cargo (just some veggies for the road). Thankfully, our cherished biltong—a South African delicacy akin to beef jerky—remained unmentioned and thus, unconfisc

“What are the Northern Lights?” you ask. They are God’s grand spectacle of particles colliding across the Arctic sky.

Here is a link to our Google Map directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ywhuGTLWf3CiiECD8 A Road Trip Through Canada to Alaska! The trek spanning 2,256 miles from our home in Washington to Fairbanks is a formidable journey. Google Maps, with its intricate knowledge of the routes, estimates the drive to take approximately 41 hours. Interestingly, a drive to Chicago, which is a mere 100 miles shorter, is significantly quicker at just 32 hours. This discrepancy likely reflects the

As Terri and I selected our wedding date, March 28, 1981, we naively envisioned the typical Kansas weather for our future anniversaries—sunny skies and a warm breeze. On our wedding day we basked in the high-70s and radiant sunshine. Yet, as God would have it, most of our anniversaries found us in New England, braving the quintessential cold, rainy days. Today, on our 43rd anniversary, Washington greets us with a familiar low 50s chill and a gentle drizzle. Oh well. As a resu

As the mastermind of packing , Terri’s got our pre-Alaskan escapade checklist down to an art. We’re not just packing; we’re curating a wardrobe for our summer stint in Fairbanks - where the sun winks at midnight and the air whispers tales of the gold rush. Our bags will brim with layers versatile enough to tango with Fairbanks’ fickle thermometer, dancing between 61°F to 72°F . But beware, the weather’s a trickster here, so we’re armed with attire that can handle its mood s

Alaska has to be more than "let me add another state to my list" destination.
