Since we first got the invitation to Alaska almost a year ago, we’ve felt a little bit like that dog who has a bone attached to its back. The trip just never seemed to get any closer.
As far as bucket list adventure places to explore, it’s always been fairly close to the top for both of us.
So, when we woke up today there was a definite ‘THIS IS THE DAY’ kind of feeling.
Bags packed, fridge emptied, cameras charged. Ready to set foot in a type of landscape that has so far evaded us.
That is, until we got a call to say the flight was cancelled and we would be travelling tomorrow instead.
The next couple of hours were spent on the phone to the airline, doing everything in our power to keep the Alaskan dream alive, but sadly, our two day adventure has been cut in half.
We didn’t let that dampen our spirits though, we had a quick caffeine refuelling and decided to head to Cornelia Fort Airpark, an abandoned airstrip just a couple of minutes from us. I honestly had no idea it was there until last week, and being the slight aviation nerd that I am, we decided to brave the 92F heat and check it out.
