Hello my fellow Beach N Toys members. We are about to start our Alaska adventure with @hamilt0n and @MTN RNR. Tomorrow we get our trucks and start the adventure in earnest. Hope we have enough service to keep this up dated!

Well.... The trip has had a few hiccups. Wind shield wipers needed to be replaced, a shoe fell apart, and a cold big hit us. First night we had a epic camp spot, then did the run around to get everything dialed in. Second night, think we are hitting our stride but not as epic. Tomorrow think we are going to Talkeena for some experiences of Alaska.

Hey guys... Day five is in the books and enjoying a beer and campfire. We are having a blast!! Tomorrow is the mid point of trip as we head to Glen Allen for fuel and restock. In the next few days we plan to hit Khultina lake, Nebessa road fun and McCarthy road stuff. We have to be back in Wasilla by Thursday at noon. Hope you all had a great meeting.

Hey everyone, well been a few days and we have Ted's starlink crushing it right now. So four days have elapsed and we are having a blast. Went to Thultina lake and have great camping. Then headed to McCarthy and Kennecott. From there we went up to Nebesna area. We have been here for two days with a rescue we did last night. Today we hiked to the two mines and fixed some broken parts that have shown up. Tomorrow we head back towards Palmer and then camping for the night. Thursday we have a helicopter tours set up and the @hamilt0n and I drop off the rental units on Friday. So more to come but we are having a blast and @MTN RNR is having as much fun as us.

I'm thinking that a certain couple should be doing a full on trip report at the next meeting?

To hard to post when service is in and out. When we get back to Anchorage area

Hey just enjoy your adventure, plenty of time to share.

Well, our adventure has ended for the time being. We made it back to Anchorage with all bummed it that part. We spent two days just northeast of Anchorage camping and found a bad camp spot. We followed that up with a great helicopter tour and then some good camping again. We spent a wonderful evening recounting the trip and discussing the next moves. @MTN RNR filmed all of that and the video to follow. We leave tomorrow and @MTN RNR keeps moving through Alaska once he gets his wounded truck fixed. See everyone soon!

Does he need parts? Willing to overnight if it helps.
