Day 105, Cushing, Oklahoma

Well it’s over.  I thought the time to leave for Alaska would never get here and now it’s over.  This is the longest trip we have ever made.  We live in the motor home but we normally spend long periods of time in one place.  We go to Texas in the Winter, Colorado in the Summer, and here in the Cushing area in the Spring and Fall.  Of course we make trips to Treasure Lake at Branson and go to some of the campouts that our Good Sam Chapter has once a month but this was on the move most of the time from May the 22nd to September the 4th.

Ok, what did I think of Alaska and would I do it again?  I had a great time most of the time.  It was one of the wettest coldest summers in recent years.  Not my words but what we were told by Alaskans themselves but it was still great.  Would I do it again?  The trip to Alaska was on my “Bucket List” and guess what, it still is.  We are already planning on going back again in 2 years.  My younger brother Bill and his wife Pat want to go and we have no problem going again.  It would be great if it is warmer so we could sit out at night around a fire but if not it is still the Last Frontier.  We probably won’t go up the “Ice Road” to Prudhoe Bay again and we will probably cut the trip to 2 1/2 months instead of 3 1/2 months since we know how many days we will want to stay at the different spots along the way.  We really enjoyed dry camping on the side of the road when we could.  We saw other people doing this with one rig but I felt better having another RV with us.

I don’t know how often I will post a new blog now that we are back.  I may try to post every 2 or 3 days or if we do something or go somewhere more often.  I have been very awed by the number of people reading the blog and hope you have enjoyed it.  I also hope it might influence more people to make the trip to Alaska.  You wouldn’t regret it.
