When we decided to go for a road trip we choose the 20th of September to be to be the day we would leave Anchorage and be travelling down the highway. Well we missed that date. Today has been an extremely busy day, organizing, reorganizing, packing unpacking repacking, trying to figure out the best place to put stuff, and there is a lot of stuff to put. We have pretty much got the bed of the truck loaded and Cassie packed for the journey South. Now to figure out what we need to take in the way of personal gear as we must be prepared for the complete weather spectrum, from extremely cold to extremely hot and everything in between. When you are not sure were you a heading it makes it makes it a bit more difficult to pack clothing.
When Holly and I hitched hiked to Alaska in 1973, all we had with us was a small back pack each with all our camping and cooking gear. What a contrast to the way we are travelling today. It took us 10 days to hitch hike from Ottawa, to Anchorage a distance of 4500 miles.
This photo was taken in front one of Holly's gardens today. When we get back the garden will be covered in snow, and the webs will be gone from the trees
