Travels With Stacey

A couple of years ago, I decided we would go to Alaska. As part of my initial research on this destination, I looked at things we can do when places close up for the day. One of the most annoying things we have discovered is…

Our day started fantastically.  We broke camp where we were just outside of Banff.  We saw three elk males hanging out together in the early morning.  One was trying to spar with the others.  We left the majestic mountains of Alberta and entered Calgary to…

Drive along the Alaska Highway, and you will encounter one of the most unique places in the world.  Everything is evident in this picture. The picture is an usie we took while sitting on a bench in what would be described as “in the middle…
