What a fabulous trip report! I cried, I laughed, and I thoroughly enjoyed every word. Krystal's motivation to do this trip was inspiring! Powerful journey. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome trip. I second the kudos to the gal that busted her butt recovering from the accident.

Glad to read that the slip and fall didn't do any serious injuries. Nice photo's!

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it!

Great and well written Trip Report! Thank you! Your Bride is a strong Woman, and I don't mean just physically! I can see why you are very proud of her! Also loved hearing about your dogs and enjoyed your beautiful pics! I was surprised you each had your own boat.

What a fantastic report! As soon as I read Krystal's "I’m doing this trip, so what do I have to do to get there?", I was hooked. Beautiful photos, great story line, sweet dogs, and some good recipe ideas, too (we also cook/dehydrate many of our meals). Thanks for taking the time to assemble and post a great story.
