    Next blog post and its a big one! We visited a town that was started by the USA's government trying to colonize Alaska during the depression, saw a statue of a 130 pound cabbage, went to an incredible museum with trains, tractors, cars and snowmobiles the kids could play on and we saw the town of Talkeetna that had a cat for a mayor for 16yrs iirc.
    Saturday morning we quickly packed up, had breakfast and managed to leave the site by 9:15am but we still had to get water, propane, mar...

    Next blog post of another day in anchorage. We visited with Nicholas Andrew and checked out beluga point. It was a quieter day and this one is a shorter post but the next day is too long of a post to join this with it.

    Friday morning we had slept poorly because of all the noise so we got up late. I dropped Julie off at the laundromat and went grocery shop...

    Our next blog post of the day we went to Port Hood in Anchorage Alaska.

    Next blog post of visiting and walking on a glacier in alaska! Also fixing my air cylinders on the trailer and trying to camp on a military base...
    In the morning I had to decide how to fix our lift system. I thought perhaps air was leaking past the piston seals faster than it could ...

    They probably keep it clear with some toxic herbicide.
    I wouldn't even let them touch the marker.
    No, were environmentally friendly now, they hire people with sizzors to cut it once a week

    Tuesday june 26. Our alarm went at 8, but it was raining pretty hard and we were tired, so we went back to sleep until 9, then got up, d...

    Next blog post with a video of our trailer going up and down as well as photos of the inside. In this one we met another festiva guy, visited a ghost town and saw a lot of other cool things!

    Nice, thanks!
