Planning and Walking

One of the nice things about planning a trip over a long period of time, is that you can take your time to find the interesting things to do. When I said I wanted to do Alaska for it’s 50th birthday on my 50th birthday, it seemed that just getting there would be the adventure. The more I find out about this state, the more I learn.
We’ve also been able to work the farm and get ready to leave for a period of several weeks. This has been great exercise and we’ve already begun to harvest some of the vegetables that have been on the timers for drip irrigation. This has been good for our mind and body. Stress is very different here and I think this has gotten us in a relaxed mindset to travel. I think we are in pretty good health and that’s important. I had been having some knee problems when we hiked in the Grand Canyon and I didn’t want that to happen again. Walking has been part of farm life and we are walking daily around the campsites and trails of Canada and Alaska.
