Gary and Soni are true salt of the earth folks. We were great friends back when we had the cabin to the left of them on Shelter. Many a great time was had playing Uno or Rummy. Not a week goes by that we don’t think about them. I’m sure we’d still be the best of friends had we not had to move back home to take care of family. You can leave Alaska, but Alaska never leaves your soul.
That is an outstanding setup on the island as all of the buildings blend in with each other. The garden area is beyond delightful. Once your wife looks at that, you better get building. Btw, kudos to the lil dog for being so calm on the boat & fitting right in! 👋🤪😹✌️🐾🐾🌻🌻🌻🇱🇷
That was a great video, Brian. I love their house and their rental cabin. They are great people, you can tell. Hope they get lots of good business from you showcasing their place. The dogs clearly had a good time!
You mother in law's doggie looks exactly like the little dog I had...he's in dog heaven now almost 2years and I still miss him...he used to be my shadow for 16 years...RIP William... ❤
That was SO cool. Beautiful place. Love the greenhouse and the grass! First place in all the Alaska videos I've watched where someone has a lawn. The fruit trees, berries, and vegetables look like they are doing great even with the cloudy situation. Love your adventure videos.
Wow awesome place. They are doing a great job. Beautiful island. Thank you for sharing Brian. Hope all goes well for Diana mom. Have a great week hope to see you next week. Take care from Cape Cod✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
Oooohh. A whale! My week is complete! Not sure when the gals were in Seattle but we had a very impressing thunder/ lightening event last night! If they like such things hope they got to see it! We even got rain for the first time in way too long! Beautiful visit with friends! Thanks.
Their place is absolutely fascinating and beautiful so the weather doesn't get that cold that it hurts the trees I didn't know that you could grow apple trees and stuff hope everything goes okay with your mother-in-law see you next week
Looks like the dogs were loving the adventure. It’s so nice that they’re so well behaved. When she was showing those knutes i was thinking “i hope raven doesn’t find them.” Maybe you can get Gary to help you set up your saw mill. I hope Diana and her mom have a safe trip. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.
Your friends have a beautiful property! The cabins are laid out very nicely. It would be a blast to stay on their island, but I've already secured a room...😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️
We love the Blackwells!! Their property truely is amazing. Soni is a wonderful host. They are genuinely some of the nicest people. So many deep conversations with Gary and his son Glen late into the night on that beautiful deck. Such good times on the island.
That area is absolutely beautiful. She is very talented and has awesome ideas for her business ventures. Would love to book there. Beautiful accommodations.
I wish I could have a greenhouse like that but we get large hail here in WY. Had to replace a roof twice in 2 years and I have class 4 shingles. Egg size hail sucks! What a great place and couple!
So enjoy your videos. Could you please put the name of the artist that painted the pics and propeller. I did try and find it on FB but was unsuccessful.Thank you.
Luv your channel, awesome video here. I need to get out of this communist state NY, it’s craziness here. Need the tranquility of AK so bad. My day in the shop is all yellin & screamin & high stress.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead 😂. Maybe soon as a next yr i’ll be looking to possibly purchase, in meantime, wife & I booked a trip for July 2025. Rented a cabin in Talkeetna. Thanks, luv your channel. Can donation’s be to this channel of yours?

Gary has a wife that loves to keep him busy. What a beautiful place. I can’t imagine building all that on an island. My goodness.

They sure did enjoy the new smells. Good idea having Gary swing by and help with the sawmill.
They certainly have a great setup there! Awesome view and beautiful land. I would love a workshop like that! Thanks for sharing with us!

Rutabagas are great boiled and mashed or for use in stews . In the uk we call them swede and in Scotland called neeps that go with Haggis
That is one awesome place 😊.
I think so too!
That area is absolutely beautiful. She is very talented and has awesome ideas for her business ventures. Would love to book there. Beautiful accommodations.
