Campground Hosting in Alaska

by ronmitchelladventure | Oct 16, 2012 | Alaska, North America, United States

Mare, Jack the dog, and I reflect upon our second consecutive summer of volunteering as campground hosts at Chilkat State Park in Haines, Alaska. Over 4,000 visitors from around the world visit the host’s cabin deck each summer. They marvel at glacier and wildlife...

Haines, Alaska Bucket List: Take two…

by ronmitchelladventure | Aug 19, 2012 | Alaska, North America, United States

Time to tackle the hike of the year: 7-Mile Saddle and Mt. Ripinsky. Jenn drops us off at the 7-mile trail head which climbs straight up to the Saddle. This 10-mile hike is a real ass-kicker. In between breaths, I eat wild blueberries and salmon berries and then rest....

Haines, Alaska Bucket List: Take One…

by ronmitchelladventure | Aug 19, 2012 | Alaska, North America, United States

A professional hunter spots mountain goats from the scope on our host cabin deck at Chilkat State Park. Finally, I get to show visitors live mountain goats for a few days, until one day we spot four hunters, gutting 2 goats in the snow above Rainbow glacier…Needless...

Bears, Eagles and Crabs, Oh My

by ronmitchelladventure | Jun 20, 2012 | Alaska, North America, United States

The eagles find a score…something fishy washed ashore…they catch more fish than I. We did cop some fresh Alaskan Dungeness crab, though, thanks to our friends and nearest neighbors, Dale and Reenie. Let’s head to the fishin’ hole. A group of local fishermen are in my...

Alaska: Headed Back to Haines

by ronmitchelladventure | Jun 12, 2012 | Alaska, North America, United States

Mare and I luxuriate in lounge chairs on the Solarium deck of the Alaska Ferry, Columbia, for the next 3 days. People pitch tents with duct tape on the cement deck in front of us. Jack is captive inside the truck cab down below on the noisy car deck. He has not gone...
