Road Trip to ALASKA

Day 0: Telephone Call

Sever calls me Thursday morning... "I just bought a plane ticket. I get into Seattle tomorrow at noon. Please pick me up at the airport and then we will drive north to Alaska..."

...

Day 1: La Conner or Bust



The Snow Goose, down the road from Sever's grandparents which is an hour or so north of Seattle. Sever ALWAYS brags about the amazing ice cream at the Snow Goose. Conveniently when we visit, generally in the winter months, the Snow Goose is not open. I got to experience the heavenly ice cream this time however!




Sever's huge SINGLE scoop of ice cream!

Day 2: North to Alaska


We started to notice a lot of haze once we crossed the border into Canada, apparently there are a lot of wild fires in BC. Holly drove through the worst of them, it was like driving in the fog, stinky stinky smoke fog!


The worlds largest fly rod!



Moose Xing

Day 3: Almost there...

The Skeena River

Cow Bay, Prince Rupert Canada


Finally, after our 18 hour drive from Sever's grandparents house we are on the ferry to Ketchikan!



Arrival in Alaska!
