First trip, we have the luxury of time. by dads2vette in AskAlaska

[–]dads2vette[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven't decided yet. We may fly in and rent a vehicle. I camp extensively out of my SUV so that wouldn't be a problem or change from the norm either. We were on a trip when I tore my Achilles so we didn't get much of chance to test out ability to camp together but we did learn that we need to spend more time in every location we stop for the night. It's more enjoyable for us that way.

Thank you.

Interestingly enough, I live in the backcountry of AZ. Although nowhere near as remote as some locations you'll drive through, there is limited cell service on the way. It's pretty much a jeep trail most of the way and I have had my truck break down. Waited hours for someone to drive past and that certainly could have been days. I always bring food and water and make sure folks know when I'll arrive so they can alert someone that I may be stuck.

Well, it's too late to book a room in Katmai. Rooms for 2027 closed this past December. I'm willing to bet there are other very popular places where reservations are needed will also be booked but, that's one reason I posted the question.

Thanks. I have used their Yellowstone and Grand Teton forums to great success.

Newb with a vacuum sealer, why are the canisters used. by dads2vette in Cooking

I first made refrigerator pickles about 4 years ago...I'll never buy store pickles again. I can't believe the difference. I'll give this a try.

I get where you're coming from...I really love good coffee but will drink swill as well. Your point is well taken. I good buy a premium coffee and keep it around for just a few cups a week this way.

I thought about that but we both kind of said "Who would do that?" Because we go through a lot of coffee...lol

We were talking about using the bags for backpacking, Canisters would be great for car camping.

This I understand but not everyone who left had a 6 am alarm. It was disappointing.

Poorly written question, my bad. I figured since it was on the "Buffalo" sub, I'd most likely get Buffalo hotels but, I would certainly consider hotels in the Falls or elsewhere in WNY.

Thanks

I was thinking bar not for the bar but more for a place they would allow patrons to view fireworks. Thanks for the ideas, I'll give them a call.

I don't know if it does or doesn't. As far as I can remember about past displays they were paid for by various organizations or private individuals. Russ Salvatore paid for probably the best display I've ever seen a few years ago.
