The first week was spent camping at the local Elk’s Lodge with fellow Alaska travelers @Malimish_Airstream<\/a> and @Bodeswell_vw<\/a> as well as meeting up with Leigh and Brian of Aluminarium<\/a> – whom I refer too as my Airstream-parents (although I believe both are younger than me<\/em>) since they introduced me to all these silver-banana folks. I have not seen Leigh and Brian since we parted ways back in Arizona back in February. We had the run of the place for the majority of the week. Everyone in the group took the time to do a little sharing on IG here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>… and so do did I<\/a>.<\/p>\n As you may have already read, Kerri and I ventured off to visit Hurricane Ridge<\/a>, Fort Worden<\/a>, and Dungenous Refuge<\/a> while based at the Elk’s Lodge. This did not leave a whole lot of activity to do once we moved to the Marina where we spent two two weekends and one work-week camping along to waters edge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>Mid way through the work week my Nephew (Cameron) and his girl (Jacqui) of @_FollowTheWind<\/a> came all the way from Southern California to pay a visit. It has been two years since Cameron and Jacqui started roaming about in their van, and the entire time we have been just missing each other in our trips. It was a blast to finally get to hang out with them while on the road. A fair share of story-sharing, eating, drinking, and lap-sitting (from Moose of course) took place. The two even got to get out on the water with the kayaks.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a> <\/a>Kerri and I had the final few days to ourselves again for a few days of… nothing. We twice visited Soak on the Sound<\/a> where the warm waters of a private tub worked wonders setting the mood.<\/p>\n\n
