Excellent adventure. I wish to add a story about Hope (the name). I met this old-timer who had lived up there for years. He now resides in Arizona. He told me that the way he understood it was Hope got its name after the first people that lived there. It became a saying back then: Tomorrow we hope to see the sun. As the population grew so did the saying. In later years they had to think up a story about the name and glory be, here came Pierce Hope, just hopped off the train. He's been living out here now for a few years and now he hopes the sun will never go down except summer. Glad y'all are feeling better. Don't feed the bears!🙂

Oh I’m so glade to see both of you had speedy recovery from Covid. My husband also asked me to extend his warmest wishes to you. He is a typical IT guy without any social skills, even though he opened an RU-vid account just to give you one more subscriber and he loves all the videos, he still finds himself out of courage or appropriate words to leave in the comments section.🙄 So I just want to let you know he loves you and he does click the like 👍 button every time 🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣

I love when you guys visit the smaller towns and Hope is not exception. I also like that you don't skim over the small local museums too. Skilak lake is gorgeous, those colors are amazing! When people think of Alaska, I think most of think of snow and mountains. I had a friend go during the summer years ago and he couldn't stop talking about the wildflowers. It's really nice to see you guys experience them too.
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад
That museum was high quality! And Hope was a nice little gem filled with very nice people. We're glad we got to do the Skilak hike...it was amazing! Ya you always think of snow and Alaska, but the summers are wonderful!

Well Guys, I must admit as a lifelong Anchorage resident, I thoroughly approve of your representation of the Kenai Peninsula. I love hope, I have been whitewater rafting down Six Mile more times than I can count. You guys must be exhausted at the end of a day - you really packed a lot into a short amount of time. Homer is so fun. Did you happen to go to The Salty Dawg? Our family has a cabin on Halibut Cove...so I am excited to see where your next adventure lands you. I must admit, I have never eaten salmon skin. How was it? And don't feel bad, I don't really like any salmon except fresh reds (sockeye salmon). We are a bit of salmon snobs up here. Currently the silvers, or Coho Salmon, are starting to run on the Kenai. You guys maybe should just move to Alaska, we would welcome you with open arms! Thanks for supporting out local tourism industry. Will you be back through Anchorage? If you ever need a free place to park overnight - or a warm shower - we live on a large one-acre property in Sand Lake Area, with plenty of safe and quiet parking where you can rest uninterrupted. I am sorry you got COVID, I am an ER RN at Providence in Anchorage, let not meet there ok? Take care of yourself and safe travels...wherever you may be!
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад
Thank you Amy, that means a lot! We are definitely constantly exhausted, but so much to see and do! We did visit The Salty Dawg with some RVer friends a different day off camera, but as non-drinkers, it was more of just a "neat to see the dollar bills" stop for us. The salmon skin was really good! I love crispy skin on chicken, so it added the same type of feel for me. We definitely would love to live in Alaska if it wasn't so far from family, we have truly had the best time here. We appreciate the parking offer as well, Kathryn is flying out of Anchorage for a wedding this week, but I plan to hop back down to the Kenai Peninsula to fish while she is gone. And hopefully no ER visits for us!

I met a couple from Homer while in Arizona! Newly retired snowbirds. Amazing people! I guess they had known Bob Wells from before hie nomad life began! I'm excited to see where they are from! 🎉

@@AdventuresofAplusK Driving and living the experience is so much better than a cruise ship. You feel the experience rather than looking from a far away ship. Maybe the future will develop a portal to just walk through and be there like a Star Trek transporter.

Another great video. Thanks for sharing with us your adventure. What I like the most is your positive attitude and your good mood. You are great. I went to Alaska with my family in 2016 and that trip was insane. I love Alaska. Please consider Harding Icefield Trailhead. It´s one the best hikes I have ever done in my whole life

Great videos! I just missed you in Hope. I’m on a 300 day trip in my Jeep and have been up in Alaska and Canada for about a month now. Heading back down to the lower 48 in a couple days. I left Massachusetts June 6 to help the homeless in 50 cities in North America. Keep up the great work!
