Love the small world. After camping on the beach at Anchor Point, AK last night we headed to Homer for sightseeing and supplies at Safeway. Came out with some groceries to some fellow WTWers checking out our rig! It was 'randygirl' and Brian with their FWC and Tacoma. I knew her from her posts here and was happy to get a tour of their rig. They have the front loading Engel I want, the solar setup, and a slick custom rear awning and front wind blocker. We have a basically stock 2010 Hawk which they enjoyed checking out too, I believe theirs was a 2001-2.

Sent them off with some info on our beach camping spot from last night.

Great meeting.

The Kenai Peninsula is now ticked off the list. We've dead-ended at Hope, Homer Spit, and Seward. Here's a few shots from our beach campsite at Anchor Point (Westerly most highway point in NA!).

Mt. Iliamna out the back door, also the water where I was the only one swimming...

Cool, G.G.!
Love those west-est, north-est, high-est, etc. points as landmarks/destinations.

Well, after about 6 weeks of bumming around Alaska and staying at our friends in Girdwood we're back on the road. Made it to Tok, AK last night after a slow morning in Girdwood. It's our 4th time staying here this trip. Planning on making it to Whitehorse today, and then starting the Cassiar the next. Sort of playing it by ear down there, really excited to see Stewart as I've read about it alot - as a geologist and as a backcountry snowboarder/snowmobiler. Then we're going to check Pemberton, Whistler, and Squamish as potential places to set up our new home base on the way to Vancouver Island (our original destination to call home).

So, stay tuned and our Spot is back online if you feel like following along.

Cheers,

Mike

Yes it was! Went for a swim (free shower) too!

In Prince George right now getting my worn tires rotated. 21,000km of 70psi, rough roads, camper and trailer have really taken their toll! Will be in for a new set before winter for sure.

LOL, think II had my tires rotated there as well. And mine are getting thin and will need to be replaced too soon. Was in NV this AM, now at the Colorado NM.

We're now in Squamish, BC. Our original plan, many pages and many months ago was to get down to Victoria and set up shop. Well, we seem to be staying here in Squamish now. Started looking for a place to rent today and have already done 3 tours. Seems like a cool mountain town, tons of outdoor activities, close to Whistler and close to Vancouver. What else could I need, aside from a sweet house with a gigantic garage for my toys and tools.

So, if we do indeed stay here - I suppose this trip report may be coming to a close!

P.S. killer camping and motorcycling out of here
