Countdown

Seeing bears is a requirement for a proper Alaskan trip. The first campsite in Juneau hadn’t had a bear sighting in a month. The second hadn’t had one in 5 days. We saw a grizzly fishing on the way to the third site. Since G kept reminding me that he didn’t need to be faster than the bear, just faster than the slowest person in the party (me), I sent him to get the pics.  And as we were pulling into our last site, a black bear was coming out.

We own a truck!

Toyota Tacoma 2003 Double Cab TRD.  The truck came with a canopy and air suspension bags that the previous owner had installed.  I am planning to do a full belt service, add roof racks for a tent and additional storage, build storage drawers in the back, add a water heater and water tank and a dual battery system.  There will also be some extra gadgets on the inside for ipad hookups and security.
