Visit on their way back to Flagstaff 


This was Ken’s birthday week followed by knee arthroscopy. Nothing says you are getting older like surgery. Poor Ken. He did well and has now gotten the pain under control. Rose got to hang out with Wilder and Iris (and Maddie) and enjoyed that. 

We said goodbye to Abby as she headed back to the Arctic aka Alaska. She really enjoyed playing pickleball and shopping. And eating out. And the sunshine.

Rose did a gymnastics class and resumed road school. I did CrossFit and hope to continue that weekly. 

Laundry is great as are other amenities - heated pool, hot tub, pickleball court, pool table, and clubhouse.

Hoping to do some sightseeing this upcoming week. 

Rose is composing her Christmas list. The countdown is on. Have a blessed week.

June 21 - Branson, Missouri

Sooo nice to meet up for dinner and visit with the Long family - Toby, Caleb, Erica, Ken, Jenn, Titus, Rose Ken returning from another Home Depot run. There’s always something to fix on our tin can as  my friend Jill called it.  In Buc’ees parking lot in Springfield, Missouri. Rose realized after visiting these a few times that Buc’ee is a beaver, not a squirrel. Which makes her happy because a squirrel ate her chips in Crater Lake. We are in Branson, very close to the strip. Campground pool. It gets pretty busy in the afternoons when it’s in the 90s. Before leaving Sandusky, Ohio, we did attend church services at New Life Church. The pastor knew someone from Alaska Missions in Soldotna who we know and he had been to our community on a missions trip. Small world.  Now we are in Branson where it is Hot! Hot! Hot! High 80s and 90s. Ken is asking for 70s which he can still get at 3am. We are spending lots of time at the campground pool and just relaxing overall. Ken is sti...

July 28 - Final Day of the Big Trip

Rose and Jenn were fortunate to be able to enjoy the Liard Hot Sprimgs  very close to the campground where Ken installed the repaired axle. Alaskan beauty. And more! It was so great to see  the Alaska sign. Can you tell these passengers are very excited? Many gas pumps in the Yukon Territory  look like this. And you have to go inside and leave your credit card for the pump to be turned on. And they aren’t 24/7. And sometimes you have to wait in line. And sometimes they have no gas or their pumps just aren’t working. Gas can be as much as $6.50/gallon in Yukon. Joy. Joy. And more Joy. We saw a lot of bison. They are big! And several bears just roaming.  Almost home! We are home and in our driveway! Top: July 28, 2024 arriving home  Bottom: August 1, 2023 leaving home  The truck and camper made it too! The trailer axle was repaired by Friday afternoon, so we headed back to Liard Hot Springs area from Whitehorse. 400 miles. 7 hours. Again. We ended up seeing 1...
