Today we started our Alaska trip. We are leaving our house with Alyssa and the boys still here until they leave for California on Thursday morning. Kayla is also turning our house into a girl’s camp for her ward in Layton. They could not find a place to hold their camp, so Kayla volunteered our house. They have a small group, so they will sleep in our basement and enjoy activities around Lehi. They are touring the police department, doing crafts, having a talk on mental health from Kiera and taking a pastry class at Lehi Bakery. They are doing other things, and Kayla has worked hard to get everything setup and planned. She is really good at that. On Thursday, she and Rosie will go to California with Alyssa for a few days.
We left home to start our Alaska trip before 9 am. We made it one mile before we had to make a stop at Lowes and then Home Depot, looking for a plumbing part so I could modify the water system. We then stopped a Kohls so Eva could return a few Amazon purchases that needed to be done before we left.
So we finally got on the road out of town around 10 am. Our first day of travel was not great as Eva was sick. She rode in the back of the van sleeping on the couch for most of the day. We stopped for gas in Idaho Falls and then found a nice campsite on Stoddard Creek north of Dubois, Idaho. We camped in a shady spot on the creek and took it easy the rest of the day. Eva started feeling a little better towards the evening.

We had a slow start for the day but left camp before 10 am. It was a driving day as we continued north on I-15 into Montana. Our plan was to have long driving days until we get out of the US, then we can slow down as we travel through Canada and Alaska. We found a nice free campsite in the town of Cascade, Montana. It is a city park where they let you camp for free for up to 3 days. We were the only ones there and had a nice level and shady spot. It is close to the freeway, but the noise is not too bad.
