Roam About with "Big Hank"

[parkkitchings]

Whew! Finally rolled back into Washington State after a little over 5 months on the road. By my count I hit 29 states and travelled over 20,000 miles. Lots of photos, memories and stories in the old travel vault on this one. Going to get around to update the travel blog www.nowheretobetour.blogspot.com but thought I'd throw up a few pictures while on here. I took way too many pictures and now it's sort time. I may be in the grave before I get to them all.

Thanks for the update and great photos as always. I'll be sure to keep an extra $20 in my wallet just in case I come across any landscaping nuns.

Thanks. Another update coming soon. Trying to catch up. I've only seen one landscaping nun in all my travels so you're probably safe.

Alaska by Air - Tacoma by Sea.

Update to the blogsite linked below. We flew up and returned back to the lower 48 via a cargo ship. No overlanding per say but a unique trip.

Great photos as always. The lighting on the water beaver photo is really impressive - must've been a very calm morning as you said.

Thanks so much for sharing ... I know it takes time to sit down & write this blog. Enjoy it so much, and great ideas for places I would love to explore one day too!

Alright another update. I haven't yet finished the posts from my 5 month trip across the country but I'm getting there. I took a couple of weeks in Sept and headed up the Chilcotin Range and Bella Coola in BC. Easily, one of my favorite areas to explore in. This update is part 1 of 2 as I took so many pictures. Anyway, hope you check it out and enjoy the pictures.

Nice right up. I had to wait to see your hound. We did the same bit with a Dachshund and a fresh pile of cow poop. Both ways from the pond. Doggy perfume as my brother puts it.

No problem guys. I really like keeping this blog as it's basically a personal journal for me. When I'm an old decrepit drooling fool one day I can sit around in my underwear and relive my travels! With that said.......here's part 2 of 2 of the recent update. Click here if you're still interested: http://nowheretobetour.blogspot.com/2017/10/bella-coolaagain-part-2-of-2.html

Most favorite shot of the trip. I'd had a flat the night before at this spot near Chilko Lake and rather than repair in the rain, I just threw a jack underneath the rear axle, and crawled in for the night. Following morning I was plugging the flat, still in the rain, when I looked up and this guy was watching me. Was able to get off a couple of shots before he slipped under the fence line and disappeared.

Thanks for the update. Great shots of the bear, and the moose hanging out with cows is something you don't see everyday. The fox photo is also great. They're not as shy as I once thought (at least the gray foxes around my area). Came across one before dawn while walking my 65 pound mutt and it stood in the middle of the street barking at us. I thought it might've been rabid until I saw its pups running away.
