Stopping along the way in Delta Junction at the highly recommended  Buffalo Center Drive-in for a  bison burger.  It was paired with a side of delicious crispy onion rings which were a tad too greasy. :-)   

It was nice to meander through a quaint farmer's market giving us the opportunity to digest lunch.  

 Our adventure continued as we explored the historic Sullivan Roadhouse soaking in a bit of Alaskan history

Fun Facts:

Refurbishing the Sullivan Roadhouse:  Today the Sullivan Roadhouse appears much as it did during the early 1900's.  The Roadhouse was carefully marked before it was dismantled and relocated to Delta Junction in the summer of 1996.
During the reassembly,  the bottom three tiers of logs had to be replaced due to severe deterioration.    Now unpeeled white spruce logs were used as replacements.  The corrugated stall roof was also replaced to provide greater protection from the elements.
Great effort was mad to retain the historical qualities of the building while preserving for future generations.

The drive to Tok was beautiful..  We set up our cozy "camp"  and then took a leisurely stroll around the serene campground, making our way down to a picturesque river. The natural beauty and tranquility of the surroundings made it a perfect evening to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Our journey from Tok through Destruction Bay was quite an adventure, despite the drizzling weather and treacherous road conditions we had previously encountered on our way up to Alaska. The unexpected potholes did a number on our tow bar. Suddenly, we heard a loud noise, and Douglas noticed through the camera that the car was swaying.  We immediately pulled over to assess the situation. To our dismay, the tow and safety bar had broken. We were very fortunate that the protective screen was still intact and prevented the car from detaching

Douglas promptly took care of the necessary adjustments, and following Douglas, I drove the car to Congdon Creek Campground. Once there, we decided to take a much-needed walk around the campground to unwind. The setting was breathtakingly beautiful, with sunlight filtering through the trees, a crisp breeze in the air, and the serenity of nature all around us. It was the perfect remedy after such a harrowing experience.

Meet Rita C Karydas

 
My journey into Health & Wellness began in 1976 when I grew tired of relying on over-the-counter and prescription medications that wasn’t helping me. This prompted me to explore yoga, meditation, organic gardening, food co-ops, and herbal remedies.

Nearly a decade later, I discovered the world of essential oils.

Throughout my journey, I have hosted four Herb and Health Festivals, both attended and taught numerous classes and conferences, owned a health food store, and launched a company creating and distributing herbal and essential oil-infused products for beauty and well-being. In 1999, I became a Certified Yoga Instructor.

In 2000, I became a Young Living customer, which eventually led me to become a Brand Partner. This gave me the opportunity to share my passion for health and wellness, along with movement, environmental health, breath work, and the transformative power of aroma.

In 2018, I was introduced to Aroma Freedom techniques. As I delved deeper into these practices, coupled with the powerful scents of essential oils, I noticed a significant shift in my awareness. This allowed me to release negative thoughts, old behaviors, and patterns, leading to a more uplifting and fulfilling life.

In 2020, I became a Certified Aroma Freedom Practitioner. My greatest joy is helping women who are ready to unleash their true potential and master all areas of their lives.
