Six Degrees of Separation

Six Degrees of Separation

The concept of six degrees of separation revealed itself in absolute reality on Saturday, June 27, 2015. As our bus excursion into the Park that day began at 7:30 a.m. and was to last 12 hours we introduced ourselves to those around us on the bus. For those reading this who know the name Jim and Katherine Wolff, you will chuckle to hear that we spent the day with their nephew and his wife. Bill is the son of Katherine’s sister Audrey. Bill and Kathy are from Wisconsin and are quite familiar with WP and OLW and we had great fun sharing memories of the Wolffs and their family. People are the ultimate experience.

Planning Ahead … a peek into the future.

Denali National Park and Reserve was quite an experience and we are so grateful we had so much time to relish it. From here, we head south to Anchorage stopping along the way, of course. The Kenai Peninsula is spread out south of Anchorage for us to explore … then back to Anchorage for the 4th of July weekend with another of our favorite Armstrongs, Megan, stationed at the army base there. Guess what … on the 4th of July you cannot find a place within 100 miles of Anchorage to park our rolling home. Thank goodness for Megan who has a place to put the Coyote at her home. 

The Inside Passage is next.  From here we drive three days to Haines to pick up a Ferry to travel to Juneau … spend a few days there … (there are no roads to Juneau, only plane and boat) … then ferry south again to Prince Rupert in Canada. Then 3,000 miles EAST … through Canada to Minnesota to hug two precious little boys – grandsons Duncan and Rowan.  Then south to Lexington Kentucky for a family reunion with Dan’s brother and sisters.  Footloose and fancy free!

So … stay tuned for more adventures on our Alaska trip.
