~~~Seward, Alaska ~~~

We recently visited Seward Alaska and I was enthralled with the beauty & views that were there... Our RV Park was the Waterfront RV Park which was run by the city and was a first come first serve. We did luck out and found 2 sites on the last row facing Resurrection Bay... However all sites faced the water and were terraced so everyone had a view. Great park if you can get into it! I suggest going in M-F...

Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay on the southeast coast of the Kenai Peninsula, 125 highway miles south of Anchorage. It lies at the foot of Mount Marathon, and is the gateway to the Kenai Fjords National Park. The City of Seward was named for U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, 1861-69, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia during the Lincoln administration

Cruise ships and freighters visit the area frequently... and the boat traffic in the early morning and evenng is very heavy... Fun to watch!!!

Exit Glacier is the only part of the park accessible by road. To get there take Herman Road at Mile 3 on the Sterling Highway. It is about an 8 mile drive to the Exit Glacier Area. There are many things you can do once there. Stroll the trails, walk very close to an active glacier, or take a ranger-led walk. It is a place where you can witness up close how glaciers re-shape a landscape and learn how plant life reclaims the barren rocky land exposed by a glacier’s retreat.

The ride out to Exit Glacier was very scenic and we enjoyed stopping and taking in the surrounding beauty of the Glacier, Mountains and rivers...

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!

~~~ I'm Still Here ~~~

What can I say except BAD internet service with AT&T... We are in Anchorage, Alaska and I do have it here but it is the first time in many weeks. We leave this morning for Seward so I am hoping to have it there too. I don't have strong enough signal to blog most places we go so I have been updating our travels through "FACEBOOK". If you have facebook let me know and I'll add you to my friends list...

I'll blog about our adventures when we get back into the lower 48 and coverage is better....

Keep safe & most of all enjoy life

Love to all, Donna

We will be entering Canada this morning for about 4 weeks and will have no Internet service unless we find a WI-FI hotspots or go to the Libraries in the towns we visit... We do not have coverage for Canada on our Internet air card because it was so expensive to add. I will post when I can and sadly may not get to visit all my bloggin' friends for a while...

BUT I will be thinking of you all...

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy

Love Donna

Watch out Alaska here we come!!!

What Internet Service????

We haven't had Internet coverage for over 2 weeks... AT&T is NOT good on the West Coast of Oregon or for that matter the West Coast! Unless you are in a BIG city or on the Interstate system you can not count on coverage. You just don't realize how dependant you become to the connection to the outside world. Not only for blogging but for looking up the many things you need and want to know when you travel. So that is why I haven't been around or over to visit my many blogging friends & I am sticking to that! I will try to catch you up on all the wonderful things we have seen & done while I have good service here in at Tall Chief RV Resort.

We are now in Fall City Washington and only 11 days away from entering Canada which is the beginning of our real journey up to Alaska. We have traveled up the west coast of Oregon and visited Mount Rainier & Mount St. Helen since I blogged last. What beautiful Mountains they both were and how devastating the story of Mount St. Helen. Also there was a ton of snow at both mountains... I think we will not see summer again til we get back to Florida. While in Fall City we will be visiting Seattle and surrounding areas... Do you have any suggestions as good places to visit or eat? We were here last about 10 years ago and so some ideas would be great.



Thanks for coming by to visit and please stick with me as I may be missing from time to time due to my not so great Internet in areas... I am sure in Canada & Alaska we will be limited. So I will check in when I can.



I wanted to share with you how important it is to be careful when maneuvering out in the rain or on muddy wet roads... On our last day in Seaside Oregon I was walking the dog after a rain storm. As I was trying to get into the RV I either slipped or tripped on the wet ground and fell into Tassie's wheel cutting my eye really bad as it hit the lug nut on her HUGE tires. I was so lucky that I didn't get hurt worst then I did but all I ended up with is a badly cut eye just above the eye socket and a beautiful shiner... It didn't need stitches but did need to derma-glue to close it up. Since it was travel day and we were only going about 100 miles I opted to wait til we got where we were going to go to the hospital. The people at the hospital in Centralia, Wa. were very nice and really took great care of me quickly. Here's looking at ya!

Until Later... Have FUN, Travel Safe & Enjoy Everyday!
