    Wow! It was so good to see the Kenai peninsula. I lived in Alaska in the '70s/80s for 10 years, six in Homer. You brought back so many good memories. Enjoy!

    I am so grateful fot your videos of Alaska. I was there in 2005 with my daughter for a high school graduation trip I planned in June 2005.. I have always wanted to return since there is so much to see. I would never get to see all this without your excellent videos! So much fun! Thank you! And, Happy very belated Birrhday Katheryn.

    Just got home from a 10 day trip to the Kenai Peninsula with a few guys from work. Most unbelievable trip ever. And we managed to be there for the first solid week of the year, beautiful weather all week. I can't wait to go back.

    Excellent adventure. I wish to add a story about Hope (the name). I met this old-timer who had lived up there for years. He now resides in Arizona. He told me that the way he understood it was Hope got its name after the first people that lived there. It became a saying back then: Tomorrow we hope to see the sun. As the population grew so did the saying. In later years they had to think up a story about the name and glory be, here came Pierce Hope, just hopped off the train. He's been living out here now for a few years and now he hopes the sun will never go down except summer. Glad y'all are feeling better. Don't feed the bears!🙂

      If you travel to Alaska by land, I recommend renting an RV. It's the best way to see the state.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому +3

      Yes we highly recommend traveling by land in an RV if you can! There is so much to see and do and it's best to be able to do things at your own pace. The tacos were spectacular!

    Oh I’m so glade to see both of you had speedy recovery from Covid. My husband also asked me to extend his warmest wishes to you. He is a typical IT guy without any social skills, even though he opened an UA-cam account just to give you one more subscriber and he loves all the videos, he still finds himself out of courage or appropriate words to leave in the comments section.🙄 So I just want to let you know he loves you and he does click the like 👍 button every time 🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣

    I love when you guys visit the smaller towns and Hope is not exception. I also like that you don't skim over the small local museums too. Skilak lake is gorgeous, those colors are amazing! When people think of Alaska, I think most of think of snow and mountains. I had a friend go during the summer years ago and he couldn't stop talking about the wildflowers. It's really nice to see you guys experience them too.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому

      That museum was high quality! And Hope was a nice little gem filled with very nice people. We're glad we got to do the Skilak hike...it was amazing!
      Ya you always think of snow and Alaska, but the summers are wonderful!

    Well Guys, I must admit as a lifelong Anchorage resident, I thoroughly approve of your representation of the Kenai Peninsula. I love hope, I have been whitewater rafting down Six Mile more times than I can count. You guys must be exhausted at the end of a day - you really packed a lot into a short amount of time.
    Homer is so fun. Did you happen to go to The Salty Dawg? Our family has a cabin on Halibut Cove...so I am excited to see where your next adventure lands you.
    I must admit, I have never eaten salmon skin. How was it? And don't feel bad, I don't really like any salmon except fresh reds (sockeye salmon). We are a bit of salmon snobs up here. Currently the silvers, or Coho Salmon, are starting to run on the Kenai.
    You guys maybe should just move to Alaska, we would welcome you with open arms!
    Thanks for supporting out local tourism industry. Will you be back through Anchorage? If you ever need a free place to park overnight - or a warm shower - we live on a large one-acre property in Sand Lake Area, with plenty of safe and quiet parking where you can rest uninterrupted.
    I am sorry you got COVID, I am an ER RN at Providence in Anchorage, let not meet there ok? Take care of yourself and safe travels...wherever you may be!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you Amy, that means a lot! We are definitely constantly exhausted, but so much to see and do! We did visit The Salty Dawg with some RVer friends a different day off camera, but as non-drinkers, it was more of just a "neat to see the dollar bills" stop for us. The salmon skin was really good! I love crispy skin on chicken, so it added the same type of feel for me. We definitely would love to live in Alaska if it wasn't so far from family, we have truly had the best time here. We appreciate the parking offer as well, Kathryn is flying out of Anchorage for a wedding this week, but I plan to hop back down to the Kenai Peninsula to fish while she is gone. And hopefully no ER visits for us!

    I must say Skilak Lookout has been my favorite view so far this trip. I mean I gasped when you showed the initial view at 18:19! All of it was just awesome!!!! We watched this one twice! The wildflowers and eagle also amazing beauty! That mermaid in Homer was so cute! 😉. I love the museum with the audio interpretive. Green is my favorite color, so WOW to the Palmer Creek Lakes hike! 🐸 I'm laughing at Kathryn seeking refuge in the bathroom from the spiting salmon!😄 But the salmon lost it's fight 🎣 dinner looked delicious! Fresh fish tacos too yeah!!! Hope you two are back to feeling 100% from your Covid setback. So sorry you had that. Jim and I look forward to watching your videos to wherever y'all go! Be well my friends!

      We are back to 100% and all systems are a go! Thank you both for watching!

    I love salmon but I don’t eat the skin. What a wonderful adventure you are on. I love the beauty of the state. Thank you for sharing all the scenery.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому +1

      The skin has the highest concentration of omega-3s in the whole fish. Omega-3s are great for your skin, brain, heart, and eyes. Plus, your body can’t produce omega-3s. When cooking with the skin on it also helps keep other nutrients in the fish instead of losing it in the pan. Wild caught Pacific salmon is considered some of the least contained salmon so the skin should be safe to eat compared to other areas salmon are caught. I can understand that concern.
      Our Alaska trip has been a dream come true! Thanks and thanks for watching!

    Happy that you're recovered from Covid. Hope you were able to get a hotel or Airbnb to have more space while sick.
    Wow, you went to Palmer Lakes Trail. Many locals don't even know about that trail. Sorry that it was cloudy at Slaughter Ridge. The photos from the top are amazing.
    Looks like you too are having quite the adventure with your salmon, halibut, and hikes.
    If you thought that otter was cute, wait until you get to Seward. They have LOTS of them there.
    No idea how you've missed the mosquitoes but they are abundant and around. You've been very lucky!
    Happy travels!

      Palmer Lakes was amazing! I was bummed to miss out on Slaughter Ridge, but Skilak Lake made up for it!
      We saw tons of wildlife on our boat tour we took from Seward! Can't wait to share that video soon

      I do orbits a lot. I mostly do them free hand though. I don't use a lot of the features it offers. I want to try out the mastershots though sometime. I know it has tons of sensors all over it, I'm just nervous to let it just fly off without me controlling it!

    Another part of Alaska I now want to visit - thanks for sharing! Those fish tacos looked scrumptious! Also, once you have super-fresh salmon like you made, it's incredibly hard to eat it any other way. I can still taste the grilled salmon from when I was there - caught, grilled, and eaten within an hour. BTW, love your drone shots! Even though it's probably not capturing the full experience of what you're seeing in person, it certainly helps us see the true majesty and splendor of Alaska - thanks again!!
