    What you doing out of Alaska?

    Get a bike buggy. We travled for 10 years towing our dog in a buggy. A friend of mine works as an independent handyman in Louisville, Ky and he doesn't own a car or truck, just uses either a bike cargo trailer attached to his mountain bike or he uses his cargo bike.

    Every time I hike by a pile of quality firewood stacked miles from nowhere, I start formulating ways to get the wood home, return and camp near the pile and have a nice fire, or anything besides just letting it rot. Most of the time it just rots. We have tons of hardwood here in PA and the only stuff that is useful as firewood is the stuff you can get to.

    That would sound good Dave. Hope you have a great visit this time. 12 years is a long time! Glad you got to bring the bike.

    Definitely! We could even do a mini-GTG here at my place for the day. At the very least, a cookout on the keyhole pit! My outdoor fireplace/pizza oven should be done by May!

    Family comes first buddy. Glad you had the reunion with your family, that's what it's all about.
