I mean, if you're gonna be camped in a parking lot, the one at Alyeska Resort a mile (with frequent shuttles) from the Girdwood Forest Fair and across from @upintheairstream is a pretty good option. #airstream #pairstream #liveriveted #myrivetedlife #airstreamtoalaska #airstreamwithkids #girdwoodforestfair #alyeska

The main stage at the forest fair had great music all day. After putting the kids to bed in the trailers (well, the young ones anyway), @upintheairstream and I went back down for a beer and to hear a little more. Oh, and grilled ham and cheese club. Oh and a funnel cake. Fun to run into a buncha Alaskan friends from the SF music scene. Even @akchase333! #girdwoodforestfair

A rainy day wasn't about the stop us and a couple thousand others - including @upintheairstream, @upintheairstream_lisa and their boys - from enjoying the Girdwood Forest Fair. #bearaware #ridingasleddog #supermom #pottyballoon #fulltimefamilies #airstreamtoalaska #girdwoodforestfair

It's 11:30 pm in Alaska. Time to pull the blackout shades and go to sleep. #airstream #airstreamtoalaska #liveriveted #midnightsun

You know that thing where you look in your completely depleted fridge and realize that the remaining contents are exactly what you'd need to improvise that cauliflower-based shepherd's pie your friend in Vermont made that one time? (This is actually from a couple days ago, but the RV park/railroad yard we're currently in is not terribly post-worthy.) This dinner was made all the better by the fact that we were looking out the trailer windows at a viewpoint of Denali trying to peak out from behind the clouds while calling our friend in VT for tips on the recipe. Basically, sauté up everything in your fridge in the cast iron skillet. We had onions, wild rice, an orange pepper, frozen corn and frozen spinach and then added a can of diced tomatoes and defrosted some pork meatballs from earlier in the week. Meanwhile, steam up a head of cauliflower and blend it in a food processor with a little butter and milk or sour cream. Oh and salt to your taste. Spread the cauliflower mix over the top of the skillet contents and sprinkle with mozzarella and/or Parmesan. Bake uncovered at 400-425 for 15 minutes or so, mostly just to brown the cheese. Last step, put it in your belly and tell people about it on Instagram so they know what they missed. #airstreamkitchen #eatriveted #castironporn #shepherdspie

One last shot from Talkeetna before we head south tomorrow morning. We actually knew to look for this vintage Airstream serving delicious spinach bread because @angrehm and the Bodeswell crew had been approached by the owners - who had just bought a vintage VW bus one year newer than theirs - in Fairbanks. Turns out they'll be at the Girdwood Forest Fair and at Salmonfest later this summer so we'll be eating a lot of spinach bread! #talkeetna #airstream #liveriveted #eatriveted #foodtruck

Lush campsite. Oh right, 19 hours of sunlight and frequent rain. That makes sense. #airstream #airstreamwithferns #talkeetna

Somehow, the trailer seems a lot smaller when it's cold and rainy outside. But what you gonna do? Same thing you'd do in a big house - watch a movie and build a couch fort! #airstream #airstreamwithkids

South to the funky town of Talkeetna, launch point for glacier flights and mountaineering ascents of The Mountain. #denalioverlandtransportationco #describesusprettywelllately #newtowvehicle?
