8/8/19 - Day 41 - Home & Thank You!

We drove down our driveway late last night, and scattered the deer who were browsing there. Wow, it felt great to walk into our house, greet our cats, and then debrief about our journey on the back deck while taking in the quiet noises of our little prairie.

Our exploratory Alaska-Canada journey was just shy of 6,900 miles and 6 weeks! We really enjoyed our first long trip now that Pat has retired. It feels great to be home, but we are already planning the next adventure...
       We'll go back up to the northern country sometime, but maybe head east next year? Maine? One person we had chatted with traveled to Nova Scotia? Who knows, we have a year to think about it.

We wanted to say, "Thank You!" to those of you who followed our adventure through this blog. It was our first attempt at writing one and was an interesting experience. Often we'd be driving and chatting about what people may want to know or coming up with ideas for the blog titles. Anyway, thank you for joining us!

Wood's Prairie... signing off with the final stanza from Robert Service's "The Call of the Wild".

"But can't you hear the Wild? - it's calling you.
Let us probe the silent places,
let us seek what luck betide us;
Let us journey to a lonely land I know.
There's a whisper on the night-wind,
there's a star agleam to guide us,
And the Wild is calling, calling... let us go."
