We have been home now for a few days so I guess it is time for a post Alaska trip update. It is still incredible to think about how great the Alaska trip was and what an amazing memory that will be for the rest of our lives. All told we put 7,867 miles on our car during the trip and we thoroughly enjoyed every mile. Hopefully those of you who have followed along on this blog got a little taste of what we did and saw. We know that our descriptions and the photos we shared don't really paint the whole picture but we were happy to share what we could of this great adventure.
Now that we are home and getting back to reality Debra and I are finalizing the plan for the next adventure to start July 3rd. In the meantime Debra has been pouring through the hundreds of photos and video clips we took in Canada and Alaska to label them and organize them so that we can share more of them with you and fill in some additional sights and experiences of the trip. She will be posting some of those in the near future.
I have been focusing on preparing our truck and travel trailer for the cross country adventure that awaits us. Our truck is a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 and our trailer is a 2009 North Shore made by Dutchman. It is a 26 foot trailer with a single slide out. This will be the first multi- day travel trip in the trailer. We have made multiple one day trips with it from Utah to Las Vegas and back so we know the truck and trailer can handle it but we haven't yet tested it over multiple consecutive days of travel. I've also lived in this trailer for several months in both 2015 and 2016 when I worked up at Scofield State Park here in Utah so I am very comfortable with the operation and upkeep of it and looking forward to spending time in it over the next few months. You never know what the future holds so if the truck and/or the trailer fails on us then we'll have to adapt our plans accordingly. But, that's why they call it an adventure.
That's about it for my update today.
Happy Trails Everyone .
Tom & Debra Stephens
