This from Teresa's Daily Diary on our recent Florida Alaska adventure.  It's long.  If you like, just skip over to photos here:  http://koransky.com/gallery/v/Salida/ 07 Aug 2008 Thursday What a crazy trip we have planned.  A reunion with my family in Ft Myers, FL,  then we fly to Anchorage, ...

Whew...  We made it back to Colorado.  We left Birmingham, AL on Dec 28th.  That's five nights and six days on the road, for what should have been a two night/3 day drive.  I'll cover our trip in a little more detail below, instead of my last half-hazard blog entry.

Today we drove out about an hour to Vega, TX only to be turned around by the Texas state patrol because the roads in New Mexico ...

As they say, the people of California may be like a bowl of granola.  Fruits, nuts, and a few flakes.  In jest of course, that refers to the people of California.  We've met a number of exceptions, but we did find it interesting that most folks in California do not care to give you the time ...

After resting up for a month at Villa Koransky, Teresa and I were ready to hit the road July 1st for our Alaska adventure.  I do have to admit, it felt strange leaving Colorado, where we had just placed a contract on land.  In addition, we were getting a little bit travel ...

I have failed to keep the main blog up to date.  So this is a ''catch-up'' blog entry, a bit out of order, to bring you up to date on all of our happenings in Northeast Arizona And Southeast Utah leading up to the previous Colorado blog entry.  Now that we have that squared ...
