  • Sometimes in February I dream about summer. Not that I don't like winter- cause I really do. It's just that I miss the color green, the warm breezes, the ease of things. This road trip is one we like to do every year and it's about 800 miles round trip. Valdez is worth it though...
    Thanks for your views, comments, and support!

    Who would believe that a person could spend two weeks in a state and it would get into your blood so bad that you watch all the UA-cam videos you can find about it...No other State has this affect... just Alaska! Man... I LOVE IT !!!
    Thank you for sharing. It does my heart good!

    I am not from Alaska, Brooke, but I do have family there. I really miss the mountains and all the beautiful wild flowers, the little white ptarmigan (sp) hiding in the grasses in the fields and ALL the natural beauty of the landscape in general. No end to it and not enough time to take it all in. I am very thankful for the times I did get there. Memories forever, thank you, love you et yours, gigi.

    Love the free fish gut food box for the critters. Big fat kitty on the dock was a happy, fish fed, lover!

    Back in '73 my friend and I were working in a shop in Grand Rapids. We were going to save up enough money to buy a truck and camper and then go to Alaska to work on the pipeline. That was some high paid work back then , maybe $10 an hour or better. Well, God had other plans for my life, so I never made it up there. Nor did my friend, he became my brother-in-law. I would still like to visit Alaska, and after seeing this video I do believe Valdez would be the main destination. Those mountains are just awesome! The town is just about my size. How long does it take to drive there from Michigan? Again, thanks for sharing this beautiful video.

    Hey, Brooke. Beautiful scenery - you ARE a lucky girl! We have a high mountain lake here that's quite popular with tourists, called "Redfish Lake." It's named after those sockey salmon, which we also call kokanee when they spend their whole lives in lakes and can't get out to the ocean. The few that show up at Redfish these days are ocean-run. I need me some roadtrip - been thinking of one in particular for a while. Maybe next week. Stay safe out there. Cheers.

I sure would have followed. Now I am too old for this sort of living, so I will live it though your videos. Thanks for sharing

    At 9.10 you have a boat named 'kapai'. in NZ Maori language that means 'good' or 'nice'. Does that word mean the same in Alaskan? Also are red salmon red all the time or just when they are all hormoned up for spawning? Nice video. Do more like this. We get to see your home land.
