    Finishing up an Alaskan cruise. This is the complete opposite of how I usually travel and likely something I will never do again. That said, it has overall been an incredible time with some wonderful companions.

    Tomorrow, we will pick up my friend’s ashes at a post office in Anchorage, and the next day we will head to Kenai Fjords National Park. He made it to 49 states, so we’re bringing him to the 50th.

      How did it go? We did something like that with my grandmother’s ashes. It was good in a bittersweet way. I hope it worked out well for you, too!

        Hey, it went really well, thanks for asking. Found a nice spot a little off the trail to sit a bit and take our time with it. I feel like no one talks about how much ashes stick to things. I’m pretty sure I still have some bits of Corbin on my backpack, but I’m good with that. 😂

          That is such an Alaskan setting with all that glacial till and silt clouding the waters grey and thick, and making rocky ‘sandbars’. Beautiful and raw.
