May 12 Back to Alaska


Back To Alaska


Leaving Wisconsin on Monday, May 12th on a warm, drizzly morning for our second adventure to Alaska.


Weather Conditions fail to improve the further west we go.  Besides the rain, the Northerly winds began to blow.  Is it possible to get sea-sick in a motorhome?  Instead of going up and down, we were going side to side.  I would have gone in the back; but I felt I needed to stay belted in for my own safety.  Tums became my lifesaver.  Bill drove in these conditions for 470 miles….rain, wind and dodging those wonderful, orange construction barrels!  I guess it wasn’t as bad as seeing on Facebook that Bill’s sister was driving today across Wyoming through a snowstorm!  WHAT?  It’s May and isn’t that the state we have to drive through tomorrow? 

 We’re at Big Al’s in Chamberlain, South Dakota and it’s 34 degrees!  So it is 75 degrees at home and 70 in Anchorage, Alaska…Come on! 



They do have buffalo here …the ones that pose for pictures.
The do have buffalo burgers …that are pretty tasty.
And…
They do have junk shops that all tourist love …except for husbands. 

This is the view out our back window of the motorhome.  The rain stopped, the wind died down, and the sun even came out.  We both have pulled out our laptops and discovered we have free Wi-Fi, thanks to Big Al.  Ahhh….all is right with the world again. J
