We did the same, camping across the States and Canada. We never made it up to Alaska, but when Wayne and I got our airplane we made two trips there, camping under our wing all the way.Powell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-51114100799125350492019-03-07T16:29:48.772-08:002019-03-07T16:29:48.772-08:00Well yes indeed.

Much nostalgia there for me for as teacher we used to camper all over Canada and up to Alaska. Now my other blog (not the book review one) is mostly reminiscing as Barb in now in memory care near Mayo in Rochester MN.

It keeps our small home warm, sometimes too warm and we have to open a window to keep it comfortable. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-35411614342689125632019-03-06T17:57:27.818-08:002019-03-06T17:57:27.818-08:00Our small town is focused on food security.
