We’ve headed to the Kenai Peninsula! We spent two days road tripping down to Homer, Alaska, stopping in the charming super small town of Hope and hiking Palmer Creek Lakes and the Skilak Lookout along the way, before enjoying a bit of the Homer Spit!

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!🙂

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 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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!

Another part of Alaska I now want to visit - thanks for sharing! Those fish tacos looked scrumptious! Also, once you have super-fresh salmon like you made, it's incredibly hard to eat it any other way. I can still taste the grilled salmon from when I was there - caught, grilled, and eaten within an hour. BTW, love your drone shots! Even though it's probably not capturing the full experience of what you're seeing in person, it certainly helps us see the true majesty and splendor of Alaska - thanks again!!

Ya you can't beat the freshness of that salmon. It was so good. I have one more piece in the freezer. I'm curious how different it'll be. Still good I'm sure! This video was our new drone's debut! We love using the drone when we can! We love the perspective it gives also! Thank you!

I just found your Alaska travel vids! So much fun, information and enthusiasm! Thank you. I'm headed up there next month July 2023, with emphasis on Denali, Seward and Brooks Falls!!! It's my 2nd trip and I'm determined to do everything I missed last time. BTW, I love your Oakleys!!!!!!

@@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 beautiful video! Tips from a chef when cooking salmon: season with soy sauce, pepper, bit of salt. Cover with pesto paste. Cook and Enjoy!

I enjoyed seeing both Skilak Lake and Homer. Thank you! Are you warming up to seafood more through your travels? Those Halibut and Rockfish tacos looked delicious! Kudos for another wonderful video!

I'm so proud of Kathryn! She is really warming up to it! She'll definitely still choose a good steak over any seafood, but she has really branched out and tried lots of seafood! Thanks!
