In 2022 we made the road trip of a lifetime. We drove and camped from our home in Las Cruces, New Mexico to Denali National Park in Alaska. It was an 11,000 mile trip. We started planning our return trip for the following summer before we even left Alaska. Life intervened. We both experienced health problems that limited our travels. In February of this year when Michael's doctors' declared that the immediate crisis had passed, we came home and made camping reservations for eight nights at Denali. So here we are in Alaska again. Thanks for all your support over the last few years.

We left the state of Washington and continued northward. It was a joy to be in Canada again. We enjoyed our time spent in British Columbia and the Yukon.
