On the road to Alaska PART I

I am currently sitting at an Arby's in Bozeman, Montana (who knew that an Arby's would have wireless?). Heidi and I are treating ourselves to some warm food. Hummus, tortilla, Vienna sausage, and tuna salad can only take you so far. Arby's roast beef with curly fries and special sauce is really tasting good right now.

Today marks one week on the road. Upon leaving Springfield we made a circle through Missouri visiting family and friends. We left the state on HWY 29 North out of Kansas City. We took 29 all the way to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We then hopped on HWY 90 are following it all the way to Washington.

Along the way we've taken the liberty to make many stops and see lots of sights. This has included The Corn Palace, Wall Drug, The Bad Lands, Devil's Tower, Mount Rushmore, The Crazy Horse Monument, Yellowstone, and more. We're having a great trip so far, with no problems yet.

We'll keep you posted and put some more pictures up when possible. This picture is of Heidi and me at Yellowstone. You can see the steam from the hot springs in the background.

Means to get there

To get to Alaska Heidi and I will be driving my truck. (We're selling her car; anybody want to buy a "93 Corsica? ///SOLD///) We've been researching many different options on how to get all of our stuff up, and we've settled on this nice new trailer. We'll put everything that we own inside and drive it to Wasilla where my parents live. We can't take everything to Stebbins, so a lot of our belongings will stay at my parent's house. Everything else that we need to bring, we will barge or fly to Stebbins. It's 6ft X 10ft. Heidi and I are pretty excited about this trailer. Other possible uses, besides transcontinental voyages, include hauling a snowmachine , or hauling a motorcycle . Granted I do not own either of these items, but if I ever do, man will I be able to haul them around.

Guspuk for Damon

Image
Last year Heidi made herself a couple of guspuks (also pronounced quspuk or kuspuk depending on where you are). Lately, she's been working on one for me. She was able to make a pattern from an old guspuk of my dad's. She finished it today and it fits great. We are having a spirit week at school to help get everyone psyched for the state testing in a couple weeks. Friday is guspuk day, so guess what I'm wearing.
