Road Trip! 2014 is the year of Alaska on the Go

Nice shot, yes? Enjoying a summer day at Timberline Lodge in Oregon's Mount Hood Territory.
With the final AKontheGO.com summertime trip in the record books, it's time to start thinking about 2014. This is not entirely unusual, friends, since by Christmas I usually have the coming year all plotted, planned, and reserved. 2014, however, will be a teensy bit different.

We're going on a book tour.

We love road trips. 
Alaska on the Go: Exploring the forty-ninth state with children will be available in better bookstores (or the back of my car) by next spring, and with the boxes o' books comes the inevitable road and/or air tour to sell them. Good thing we like to travel.

University of Alaska Press  will handle the biggie destinations, and a tentative schedule will be released as soon as the final publishing date is announced, but we need your help to fill in a few extra days and places, because, gosh darn it, I hate to waste highway time.

Outside of our home state of Alaska, discussions have begun with folks in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada; Seattle, Bellevue, Bellingham, Granite Falls, and Issaquah, Washington; Portland and Bend, Oregon; and Durango, Colorado. Anybody down in California want to meet us, receive a signed copy of the book, and talk Alaska family travel? How about our Southern readers? We'd love to meet you, too!

Maybe a group campout? Book-signing under the stars, now that's something special!

Interested? togoak@gmail.com is the place to find me.
