ALASKA:  June 10. 2007 - September 17, 2007  We left Sacramento on June 10th.  We met up with some RV friends in Dawson Creek, Canada.  We will be traveling with them for over three months, as we explored Alaska.  We drove over 10,000 miles.  A highlight of the trip was having our granddaughter, Nalonni with us for most of the time. She was such a joy to be with.  Be sure to look at all the wonderful pictures (Alaskan Pictures), and read about our experiences (Alaskan Travel Stories).

IDAHO & NORTHWEST: July 15, 2006 - September 27, 2006.  We left Sacramento to get out of the summer heat just before a record breaking hot spell.  Plans were to spend time in the lake country of northern Idaho.  It turns out that the heat wave was wide spread.  We soon decided to head for the ocean hoping for a break. Plans are to meander around the northwest until cooler weather comes to Sacramento.
