I was just checking my last Thursday Thirteen and it was just before our fabulous trip to Alaska this summer. We're back and I can't wait to do it again. Today's Thursday Thirteen is 13 places I'd spend more time at on our next trip to Alaska which includes travelling to and from.
1. I loved hiking in the Starved Rock State Park in IL
2. Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory
3. Dawson City
4. Talkeetna AK
5. Kenai AK
6. Valdez AK
7. Seward AK
8. The hot springs in Laird Hot Springs was amazing.
9. Anchorage, just to spend time with my brother and his family.
10. We were lucky enough to go a little into CA to the Redwood Forest - I'd love to see more.
11. The Black Hills were the most peaceful place I've ever experienced.
12. Even before Palin became the VP nominee I loved the Wassila Palmer area.
13. And we LOVED hiking around the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau.
We saw so much wildlife and mountainous views daily - it was AWESOME!! If you have time be sure to check it out on my blog from June thru August.

I took a cruise to Alaska in 1986 but I'd love to spend more time visiting the state. Happy TT.
I have never been to Alaska..maybe one day! Great list!
I'm a Chicago girl and as a kid, we went to Starved Rock all the time. Thanks for reminding me how much fun it was, and thanks for visiting my TT.
I've never been....but I'd like to someday.
Thanks for the visit and cool comment!!!
Did you get anywhere close to Kechikan? That was my favorite place in Alaska.
Alice Audrey, I think you can only get to Kechikan by boat or plane? Don't know that for a fact though, but to answer you question "no" we didn't. That'll be on my list for next time though if you can take the rv there.
i've heard (or rather read) abt so many good things and places about Alaska and it sounds like it's the best place to see and to be seen,hope to visit that place someday.
thanks for reading my TT.
I would love to travel the US Alaska by RV - we have caravans in Australia you tow behind a car.

My Little Drummer Boys
It ALL sounds wonderful Yeah, for you that you get to travel!
Wow, I bet you had a fabulous trip! My brother lived in Alaska for several years but I never got the chance to visit. Happy TT!
Hot springs and Alaska are not nouns I would put together--until now! Thanks for this list!
My folks did a yearlong RV trip two years ago. Alaska was their big highlight too.
My uncle and his family live in Anchorage. Alaska really looks like a great place to visit.
Thanks for dropping by my TT :)
I bet it was hard to pick just 13. Happy TT just a little late.
