Follow our adventuers to Alaska by Motor Coach as we complete a bucket list entry

Many of us have bucket lists. Ours includes a trip to Alaska. We are traveling by Motor Coach from our southern mountain home across our great United States to Seward's Folly, or the great frontier of Alaska. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our ride as we try to share our adventure with you.

Glacier National Park

What a day.  The Red Bus picked us up at the KOA at 9:30 am.  It was one of the original national park touring buses that was refurbished in 1999 and returned to the national parks in 2006.  Glacier has 32 of these tour buses and Yellowstone National Park has 8 and Skagway Alaska has 4.  They carry 17 people and a driver and have the open air top.  What a drive.  The sun was shining with a cool breeze blowing.  Vehicles over 21 ft could not go over the Going to the Sun Road.  It was like the road to Highlands only longer.  The scenery was absolutely beautiful.  The picture on the right is of Wild Goose Island, the most photographed island.  Tomorrow we leave Glacier and head towards Jackson Hole Wyoming (a two day trip).  Then up through the Tetons and Yellowstone on our way to Buffalo, Wyoming and South Dakota.  Glad everyone is doing well and we miss ya'll.  Hope everyone made it up and back on Gabe's mountain.  Will keep you posted where we will be.
