It's very much Autumn up here in Alaska. The leaves are all falling off the trees and everything has begun the slow process of dying or hibernating for the next 9 months. Cue for me to leave before snow starts falling and I'm stuck here for another winter! I thought I'd share some photos that are getting me cozy and ready for fall vibes. The top photo kind of embodies what I envision wearing like the whole trip. Not really, but something about this outfit makes me so happy. I don't know if it's the little orange knitted hat perched on my head, the comfy black jeans, the plaid or the moccasins, but I always love that picture. Don't worry, I'll still be wearing dresses, but I'm definitely interested to see where my style goes.
Well, today is the day I leave. Maybe I should've started this post off with that news, eh? Haha. I'll try to tweet today, but who knows how long I'll have cell service. I have a feeling 3G won't be that great once I get out into the more wildernessy areas of Alaska. My campground may have internet tonight, though. We'll see. The campground I'm staying at tonight is actually my mom and I's favorite campground from our family's whole 2.5 month RV trip around the country 3 years ago. They have this fun nightly program of music and activities and this pancake tossing competition to win breakfast the next morning! They even make special animal-shaped pancakes like fish, moose, and a whole swarm of mosquitos! I'm hoping it lives up to the amazing memory I have of it! You can actually see me circa 2007 at the campground tossing a pancake in this post. And you better believe the Brave and I are getting our picture taken at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign!

Wow, is that a new hair color I see??
The adventure has finally begun! May all your Brave traveling days be cozy and unique and familiar yet a tad out of your comfort zone, filled with drawing silly things on the side of the road, waving at other drivers on lonely roads, gasping at the gas bill, meeting new people, learning to sing along to 50s music, and discovering yourself. When I first heard that you were doing this, I was so jealous/in awe of you! Have sooo much fun! Can't wait to hear about all of it. Good luck, girl!
good luck on your adventures! have an amazing time, i wish you safe travels!
I wish you the best of luck! This adventure is going to be a fantastic one. Also, thanks for all the flickr pics! So beautiful.
Woo! This is so exciting! I'm stoked to see where the Brave takes you.
The outfit reminds of of Into the Wild.
you have to go right through my town to get to WA. Maybe I will see you and the Brave drive on through Prince George, British Columbia. If I do, I will be sure to wave like a madwomen!
Have a nice trip, wish you all the good luck! :)
