Surprise, surprise! You never know where a hop, skip, and a jump will take Andrew and I. After a quick flight to Las Vegas and a 13 hour drive from Independence, CA, (where our Rav4 was) we spent a lovely week in the Grand Tetons. To our surprise a group of guys that we had been involved with in Death Valley asked us to meet them in the Tetons to help guide their trip through the wilds of Wyoming. More pictures from this trip when we get back to Alaska!Alaska?!?! Surprise again...no Death Valley this winter. Andrew and I have decided to stay in Alaska this winter and experience the extreme cold and colorful night skies! We will not be staying at our beloved cabin in Healy though...it's not quite ready for winter and there is not a huge job market there in the winter. So, we'll be staying at the cousins' place, not in the new house but the cabin that has served them so well for the last 18 years. Andrew will be working with the contractor that built their house last year and I will find something to bring in some income. We hear it's a magical time of year in Alaska and are looking forward to the new adventure!
