I am Melissa Rudacille

I started blogging while preparing to move to Alaska for 6 months. I am aiming for a “good enough” blog that brings you along on our 4200 mile drive to Alaska, then exploring the north. Your input and questions are welcome!

The posts won’t be perfect as I don’t know what I am doing. I could easily get research paralysis on both content and structure and never hit “publish” on anything. Photos will often be from C, the better photographer.

FYI, posts may be irregular as we often won’t have cell service or Wi-Fi.
