A note from Rhea at Home

In Rhea's words:

We're having so much fun. I'm so glad we decided not to retire in AK but miss it and everyone still. We love the hot days and long hot summer nights. We've gotten out and done more things here in a month than we did all of last year. There's so much to do, placed to go, yadayada. Maybe it's because we're from here - something about just being home. We're almost settled. Getting a few pictures up. Finally got my car in the garage but it will be a while before we get Michael's pick up in. Lots of garage sale stuff and boxes of goods we want to save... somewhere?

Hope all is well with you. Say hi to everyone for me.

Pat's Home Free

Pat is home free now. No worries.

Pat's travel status

No word from Pat so far; so, she must be pretty far down the Alcan by now...

Pat's Departure

Pat P. is leaving the office today and heading down the road for the lower 48. We wish her well and godspeed on her journey and new life when she gets to her new destination. She has promised to send updates to be posted here on this blog. Points of interest, problems, irritants etc. We hope Rhea's trip and now Pat's trip will be useful insights for future travelers through the worm hole to the motherland. more to come...

Pending Departures

There are two pending departures from JPO during the remainder of this summer. Pat P. is planning her departure for points south. The next up and coming retirement is that of Dave Perez, presumably near the end of the summer. Updates will be provided as appropriate.

New Alcan Traveler

We have a new Alcan traveler known only as Pat P. at this stage, preparing to journey down the highway this summer sometime.
Now that Rhea has paved the way with her adventure and cataloged some of her findings, the next person to venture forth will be ready for the rough stretch between Tok and Whitehorse.
This blog is capable of accepting comments from the readership if any are out there in blogoland.
more later...

Rhea's Celebration

At this time Rhea & husband have found a friendly place to stay in the Gig Harbor area.
They are taking some time off from driving and enjoying the ambiance of the area and 4th of July festivities. She said their boat trailer started out with new tires but have taken a beating and are hoping to make it to their ultimate destination safely.

Happy 4th to one and all.
