Well this time tomorrow we shall be 4 hours into our journey somewhere over the "pond" as Jan and I have come to refer to the Atlantic Ocean and Freedom's Way will be calling ! Finan and Tilly have been lovingly dispatched to the company of Tilly's sister Mary Mae and Pippa her Mum and the 8 other dogs who are part of the pack she was born into.They have their snug travelling cage to camp in and blankets which doubtless have our scent on them . Those looking after our house are here and luggage stored ready in the car for the airport trip tomorrow.
In the direction of "Freedom's Way "
Last week I ordered the Anchorage Daily News on my Kindle and have gradually begun to acclimatise myself to Alaska news ,the highest helicopter rescue over 19,000 feet from Mt McKinley at the weekend ,Denali National Park bans the use of snow mobiles because snow is melting fast and the death of an entrepreneur by the name of Carr who at the height of the development in the 50's founded a chain of supermarkets which are now owned by Safeways but part of Alaskan life -a bit like Sainsbury's in the UK.
We are really looking forward to the scale of Alaska ,the affinity of human life to nature ,the legacy of native American history, links with Russia and experiencing a different sense of community.
So dear friends Ready Steady GO see you all in Alaska
Love
The Silver Hoody and her husband
"Balmy" 50F temps await you here in Alaska. Bring out the long underwear. Little Scotty camper is packed and awaiting your arrival as the magic pumpkin coach for our trip north to Denali wilderness. Safe travels and Godspeed. Will see you at Kenai airport. I will be the one with the BIG smile :)
