Farewell Note:

Wow so many little details to take care of on this T minus 2 days!

Most of my adult life I took a real vacation every 5 years or so.
As my own boss I always found it hard to get away for more than an extended weekend. Since retirement, I have happily broken from away from those chains.

This last image I thought I would just present a lovely landscape. We turned Green Acres into Alaska from Northern California for the month June, with a more dramatic sim surround. Also a new look for the cabin up at the "Angels Nest"

The sim is open while I am on my travels for your enjoyment!

See you guys in 3 weeks!

"North to Alaska We're goin' north, the rush is on!"

Peace! 🐾☮️🐾

So hey Kidds!

The middle of next week I will be on a epic journey, that will encompass 5 US States, 3 Canadian Provinces & 6467 miles of open road!

Cava will be racing in a Summer Solstice Tournament in Alaska! We are super jazzed about this trip, Harry will be along for the trip, it should make things interesting.

We do have time to explore a bit in Alaska hope to see some the wild critters!

I will share a few RL's Images upon our return.

I was going to do a more contemporary image, but I have had Johnny Horton's song in my head for weeks! So we our going OG.

The story of gold rushes across the North American Continent have always sparked great interest for my history jones!

If I have time I might get 1 or 2 more frames done before departure day, or this may be it!

T minus 5!

"North to Alaska We're goin' north, the rush is on!"

Peace! 🐾☮️🐾

Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River and found a bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain, just a little southeast of Nome

Sam crossed the majestic mountains (mush, mush)
To the valleys far below (mush, mush)
He talked to his team of huskies (mush, mush)
As he mushed on through the snow (mush, mush)
With the northern lights a-runnin' wild (mush, mush)
In the land of the midnight sun (mush, mush)
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man (mush, mush)
In the year of 1901 (mush, mush)

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on

Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said "Sam you're a-lookin' at a lonely, lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman (mush, mush)
To love him all the time (mush, mush)
Remember Sam, a true love is (mush, mush)
So hard to find (mush, mush)
I'd build for my Jenny (mush, mush)
A honeymoon home (mush, mush)
Below that old white mountain (mush, mush)
Just a little southeast of Nome" (mush, mush)

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
We're goin' north, the rush is on

Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up-
