I think “Steals and Deals” is going to be the Mantra for travel in 2009. We’ve got a gaggle of them in this week’s newsletter available here. Deals to Denali. Deals to Homer. Deals on Era Aviation. Two-for-one deals around the state with the Great Alaskan TourSaver . Click here to check it out. And if you do not subscribe already, do so today. It’s free. Lots of changes coming up.

Oh, we went fishing earlier this week in Manzanillo, Mexico. S-o-m-e less-than-charitable sportsmen have mocked us, saying we didn’t catch anything. Well–here’s PROOF. Our able deckhand, Hugo, nearly threw his back out hauling this trophy up over the side. Behold, you skeptics!!

See the Great One–at a Great Savings!

It’s called the “Sourdough Special” and it’s designed exclusively for Alaska residents. Call now and make your summertime reservations for 50 percent off. The rates start at just $128 per night at all four Denali Park Resorts hotels near the park entrance: McKinley Village, McKinley Chalets, The Grande Denali and Denali Bluffs.  This special rate is available Thu.-Sun. and is subject to availability.

This is a great chance to lock in some super savings at hotels which are right by the park entrance! You’re in just the right spot to see the wildlife! Ask about your special wildlife tours while you’re making your reservations!

Reservations must be made with an Alaska billing address. Guests must show an Alaska driver’s license or other Alaska ID at check-in. If you cancel 31 days or more prior to arrival, there is a 10 percent cancellation fee. Reservations canceled within 30 days of arrival are non-refundable.

I just got off the phone with my friends there at Denali Park Resorts. They’re excited about this special–but it won’t last long. Call (800) 276-7234 right away. Learn more online.

Craig and Susie Seibert have a little piece of Heaven west of Trapper Creek in the shadow of Denali: Gate Creek Cabins. Snowmachiners (uh…that’s “snowmobilers” for you bald-faced flatlanders) know all about Seiberts’ place in the Petersville Hills. But winter has arrived there a little early–and we’re here to tell you about it. Here’s Craig’s report:

Good News / Bad News:  8” Sunday (10/12) … and another 6” yesterday (10/13) … this all on a 6” wet base … so the snow is beginning to stack up!  There of course is still no base … so the safest place to ride is Still Petersville Rd .or any road surface with that same 20” of fluff.

Warning: The rivers, lakes, creeks, swamps are still not frozen … which also means rocks and stumps are not covered or protected by a solid base …  they hurt both you and your snowmachines.

The temps are looking better all the time, as they slowly drop below Freezing and stay there, tonight is clear and cold and should continue to drop (it’s 29 right now). Gorgeous Full Moon. 

State D.O.T. as always is doing an AWESOME job again … and all the lots are plowed from MP 8 to Krotto Parking MP 13.5, and from what I’m hearing it will be busy this weekend.

Important: Gate Creek Cabins has no restaurant–you bring your own food. Kenny Creek Lodge opens this weekend with new Owners and Tony the GM says they will offer Pizza until 10PM …  907-733-1310.  The Forks will also be hoping this weekend 733-1851.

Keep the rubber side down and be safe this weekend  the road will be fast, watch out for rocks and old mining equipment….Craig

Thanks, Craig! See you on the trails! Here’s a nice shot of their view. Whoo-boy!
