Too bad … so sad. “Roada” is winterized and hibernating until Spring. Dang.

Meet “Roada”, my favorite 4-wheeled companion and partner. You’ll get to know her pretty well, since she features predominately in many of my stories.


It’s been quite the adventure as the four of us (including co-navigators Baxter & Rhonda) traveled around Alaska, getting accustomed to each other, over the past three years. I started out as a very green RV newbie so there was a pretty steep learning curve (I’ll tell you all about it) – but I’m well on my way now (famous last words?) and preparing for bigger trips to come. Bigger than Alaska? How can that BE? Well … I hear Canada is pretty darned large, and then there is the entire “lower 48” below it. Alaska may be BIG, but as the saying goes … “But wait! There’s MORE!”
