After months of watching and waiting to see how this pandemic would unfold for our world and for travelers; we have finally come to some conclusions about plans for summer. We won't say that we LOVE love them.. but we are looking forward. While travel is opening for people, it does not appear that it's …

… the changing landscape
This is the space where I want to include some insightful, thought-provoking quotation. Perhaps something leaning towards the positive, while acknowledging the challenging times that we are currently experiencing. I cannot think of a single blip to put there that can summarize what I am thinking about our Nuts Travel adventures; let alone our world …

.. quick update…
We are NOT dead on the side of the road somehwhere in Canada. We have not decided to go off the grid and hide for life in the wilds of BC... We... are in the lower 48. We have a post from the beginning of Sept about our time in Jasper and Banff sitting in …

Stewart, BC – Hyder, AK
We made such good time driving the Cassiar Highway (37) from Watson Lake, YT, down to the Meziadin junction that we determined we could stop in to pay one last farewell to Alaska before getting too far out of range. Bears on the Cassiar! The drive into the Stewart/Hyder area is gorgeous and I'm fairly …

Derby days: The beginning of the end of the beginning – August 8 – 19
Check back soon for updated pictures The drive into Valdez is absolutely amazing. Mountains, glaciers, canyons, waterfalls... gorgeous. Valdez itself... David Lynch. It somehow manages to showcase life, death and everything in-between all at the same time with some of the most amazing oil painted vistas as a backdrop. Camping We began our stay by …

August 5 -8 – The road to Valdez
I have never really been emotional about leaving a place, but I choked up looking at Resurrection Bay just before pulling out of Seward. We were about to leave the view, the water, the air, the people, the gelato... oh the gelato... but it was time to move on. There are more adventures ahead. Did …

Some more about Seward.
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering. Saint Augustine Tomorrow we will pack away the stragling items …

Seward! July 25-???
Much of the camping in Seward are municiple campgrounds near or at the water downtown, so we did what everyone else does when they roll in and just cruise through until we found a spot that suits. Pay the machine and you're home... Until tomorrow... when you keep an eye out for someone leaving the …

Back to the Russian River….
We left off from Soldatna on the 24th like planned... but a bit later than anticipated. There is this thing about fishing... it's a leisure activity that requires a TON of work. The day is not done when the fisherman gets his fish. There is processing the fish in addition to getting all the equipment …

July 10 – we dunno… the 24th? – Soldotna
Onward to Soldotna!! We have people to see!! Our first night was in the glamourous parking lot of a Fred Meyers (similar to Walmart, but classier). Amazing how well Sarah sleeps with the white noise of a generator in her ear. The next day was filled with oil changes, laundry and dreams of chest waders. …
