SUP in Cooper Landing Alaska
Adventure Guru Courtney Larsen was recently in Hawaii to get certified as a PSUPA instructor. He sent us this video of his Stand Up Paddle operation in Cooper Landing, Alaska and we just had to share it. He offers exclusive tours going downstream on the Kenai River. It looks like an amazing area to paddle and we will have to go and visit him! If you are interested in paddling in this beautiful area in Alaska, check out Courtney here:
Kenai River Surfing:
Experience the thrill and exhilarating sensation paddle boarding the meandering and ever-changing beautiful turquoise-blue glacier-fed mighty Alaska Kenai River in the heart of pristine mountain-and-tree-vista tapestry of Chugach National Forest.
While standing-on-water and with greater distant visibility, you will see an abundant of ALASKA wildlife including many giant nesting American bald eagles, mergansers, common goldeneye, kingfishers, and many more; and may also see mammals of moose or bear.
No more river kayak ‘trucker’s bum-bum’ or raft ‘leg-cramps’ for hours of cold on end; instead river surfing (similar in technique to downhill mogul skiing), utilizes and warms all muscle groups (arms, back, abs, and legs) staying physically fit with healthy upright posture and concluding with an end-trip exhilarating paddleboard high!
When it comes to SUP destinations, the best spots are the ones off the beaten path. One area where you can find plenty of these “hidden” spots is in the great state of Alaska. Home to some of the most pristine wilderness in the world, Alaska is no doubt teeming with paddling possibilities. This latest video features two paddlers exploring the picturesque Kenai Lake, located near the town of Cooper Landing on the Kenai Peninsula. Turquoise water, lush forest, and cascading snow-covered mountains create the incredible backdrop for this epic location. So hit play and see why Alaska needs to be at the top of your destination list.

We reach our second incredible pull-out in Alaska overlooking Matanuska Glacier which blew us away with its impressive size and how much it moves (a whole foot) in a day!
We arrive in Anchorage and finally get to a GMC dealer to get the check engine light fixed. The code the engine threw was p21dd, and they ended up changing out our Emission Reduction Fluid Tank Reservoir which is part of the DEF system. They also fixed two recalls and had us back on the road in a few hours.
We head down the Kenai Peninsula to the farm we volunteer at in Homer. We start right in learning morning and evening chores, taking care of the cows, chickens, goats, pigs and a BABY, which was Jess’ favorite job!
Corey heads out with Ashton, the owner of Callahan Fishing Co., and helps run nets on their commercial salmon fishing boat for 24hrs! The Hanta Yo (meaning clear a path or get out of the way) is a purse seining boat, and Corey shows how the process of purse seining fishing is done.
We realize while on the farm that we have an Alaskan intruder - our first mouse. Corey rigs up a crazy trap and actually catches the little critter!
Our last night in Homer, we head to a campground on the Homer Spit for our first time ever beach camping.
Stay tuned for next week’s episode where we head to Anchorage to get new tires on the RV and meet Less Junk, More Journey and Keep Your Daydream at their meet-up! Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

Trailer - ON THE TRAIL OF THE GLACIERS MISSION TO ALASKA - ENG
After the successful expedition to Karakorum and to Caucasus, photographer Fabiano Ventura and his team of experts continue their mission to study the effects of climate change on the world's largest glaciers. Their next expedition will take them to Alaska.
Thanks to the cold weather and the frequent precipitations, glaciers are found in Alaska at low altitudes; they pass through the long valleys and merge just before they arrive at the sea. Their particular characteristics make Alaska's glaciers very interesting from a scientific point of view.
Once again, in this documentary, photographic evidence gathered by explorers of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century is compared with the same shots taken by Fabiano Ventura. These are then scientifically analysed to determine the health of some of the largest glaciers in the world.

Alaska Keeps Getting Better | 3 In A Van To Homer | RVing Alaska
Alaska just keeps getting better! Watch eagles turn flips as the sun sets in front of volcanoes in Alaska... what could be better?
In this episode we leave beautiful Seward, Alaska and make a stop to hike out to Exit Glacier with our granddaughter, Carrie. If we had stopped there it would have been a successful, non-forgettable adventure in Alaska with her. But, we pointed the Travato van further south and headed down the Kenai Peninsula on our way to what we thought our destination would be, the Spit in Homer. But we got sidetracked big time. We found the jewel of a state park in Deep Creek State Park about 30 miles north of Homer and that ended up being our home base for 3 nights as we enjoyed the views of the volcanos, the eagles, the tractor-assisted boat launches and we even drove down to Homer for an afternoon.

RVing Alaska - The PURE beauty of the Glenn Highway and the Richardson Highway and... VALDEZ!
The longest stretch of freeway in Alaska and is the main highway to get to Anchorage. We’ll take this highway to the Richardson Highway which will end in our destination toady of Valdez.
In this episode we take leave our perfect little boondocking spot on the Matanuska River outside of Palmer, Alaska and start on our way to Valdez, Alaska. Along the way we began seeing the Matanuska Glacier and stopped to take a hike there and see our first up close view of an Alaskan glacier. Then we hopped on the Richardson Highway and found ourselves amazed at the views of the Chugach Mountains and the Alaska Range. After all the jaw dropping beauty of the glaciers and mountains along the way we just had to laugh when as we neared Valdez we were presented with two of the most spectacular waterfalls we’ve seen, Bridal Veil Falls and Horse Tail Falls.
All this driving put us into Valdez, Alaska around 9:00pm so we found a cool little stealth camping spot in the marina, grabbed a little dinner and walked around the beautiful little harbor town.
The last scenic sequence of the Valdez has one of my songs as the background music. Here’s the link to that song, where you can download it for free or leave a little coffee money if you’d like. (As many of you know I used to make my living writing, recording and performing music but now we are just out here, off our couches, loving exploring everywhere we can go in our vans... so a tip is not necessary... just enjoy the music if that’s your thing).

To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world. God never made an ugly landscape. All that sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild. John Muir
It is my hope that viewers of this video will be educated to the majesty that is Alaska and inspired to preserve it's wildness through stewardship of its resources.

Camping With Eagles! - RVing Alaska In Travato Van
Haven’t you always wanted to fly??... like an eagle? Well, after camping right on the edge of a huge cliff over top of the Copper River watching eagles laughing and playing as they flew by time after time we’ve got to say that we sure wanted to be able to fly. But, what a great place to spend the night!!!
How did we find this spot? Same as almost all of our boondocking spots in Alaska... the iOverlander app. It’s our go-to way of finding cool, unique places to spend the night out dry camping / boondocking in our little Travato 59K van. That van is perfectly suited for these kind of 1-3 night stints in these remote places. This place was a bit of a test to get down to the exact spot... in fact Lynn had to closely watch the rear end of the van was we went down one steep hill to make sure we didn’t drag as we got to the spot! We didn’t and the rest is history... what a great, great spot and precious memories that will last a lifetime.
After a great night’s rest at the literal edge of a cliff we headed to Palmer, Alaska to spend a few nights the quaint little Paradise RV Resort washing clothes, the van and ourselves and preparing for the upcoming visit with our granddaughter, Carrie, who was flying in to Anchorage in a few days.
