Tundra or Bust

We are on the eve of departure for Alaska.

Tomorrow, we will be living here.

We will be in pursuit of this.

While trying to avoid being eaten by this.

We will ride on one of these.

And fish in one of these.

There will be moments of triumph.

Moments of manly fortitude (though few and far between).

Moments of exhaustion.

Moments of questionable parental oversight.

And moments of rest.

I'm guessing that Alden will be harder contain this time around.

But we've decided to bring her nonetheless. But how best to get her there? Instead of suitcases, we travel with coolers full of produce (there are no stores in Coffee Point).

But apparently, Alden finds the cooler not to her liking.

And so we are off. Here's the sad news (for you). I have decided to go off the grid while we are gone. No email, no internet. So no posts. The Barnstorming will be going dark for three weeks. We'll be tuning back in upon our return. Which is July 15 for those of you who might be keeping track. Send me an email if you want to be alerted upon our return.

For now, so long. And enjoy the summer, wherever you may be.
