Journal

Rick and Carol kept a journal of their 140-day trip to Alaska.  It is not great literature – just a way for us to remember the things we saw and did.  For anyone who is interested, it is posted in five chapters, one for each calendar month of our journey.  (For those who start with May and think the journal is too long, just wait – the longer we traveled, the less we wrote.)
May, 2002:  Tallahassee, Florida to Kalispell, Montana
June, 2002:  Kalispell to Fairbanks, Alaska
July, 2002:  Fairbanks to Kenai, Alaska
August, 2002:  Kenai to Upsala, Ontario
September, 2002: Upsala to Tallahassee
