    Fairbanks to Valdez is a familiar trip for lots of us. Matter of fact, Denali and I are floating on the Ferry to Cordova over the fourth this summer!

My wife Jill's van life request is to go from Maine(our home) to Key West and then mine is to go to Alaska! We're hoping to hit the road full time next year, I can't wait to live through you guys for this Alaskan adventure! -Cody

    Loved getting to see Valdez again! My son lived there for 3 years and we visited last August. Funny you referred to the sea lions as dog-looking because my son said they call them water-dogs! Can’t wait to see where you go next. (I highly recommend Homer, and stay on the Homer Spit!)

    • @Meghanandmatt
      @Meghanandmatt  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Valdez is such a cool place we’d love to go back to before we head to the lower 48! And they’re just like dogs 😂 Homer is definitely on our list of places to go!

    David and I have been so worried about being caught in active wildfires! We are heading to cline river on the way to Jasper and apparently there is a wildfire there at the moment 😱 That is so scary how the cave is collapsing. The music made it intense as well 😂 Stay safe you guys! There's just something about fishing with an incredible mountain view.
    We're looking forward to the next video.

      Yeah we just bought whatever the guy at the store recommended and they were the cheapest option. Still worked out for us though 🎣
