Man Lloyd, that is an incredible deal. My Brother and his Wife have some Friends who occasionally work for a company, that has some other pod companies, and they hooked my Brother up with one of them, and he was a mechanic, and maintenance man on a big dual hull sight seeing boat in Glacier Bay. He had to buy all of his supplies, and be flown in to where he would be staying. Said he walked out the car one day, and turned right around and went back in his room. He said there was big brown, with a cup in the parking lot. Seen lots of bears, whales, and such. I was telling him how strong bears were, and how they casually lift up a big boulder, looking for mice, and grubs, and beetiles and other insects, the Boulder would be big enough, that would take three men with a big lever to lift. He said, he knew, as he had watched them on the beach, just take one paw, and lift up a huge rock, and look under it for sea critters. He stayed up there for five months, and would move there in a heart beat, but his wife, wouldn't. She went up there for a couple of weeks, she loved it but said she could not take the winters. I have always wanted to go up there, and be flown in somewhere remote, and take my 45-70 Marlin Carbine, and fishing, and camping gear, and just drop me off at some lake, for a week or more and then come back for me.
It is great that You and He can spend time like that. Your wife doesn't like that kind of stuff, or while you two are away, she is getting away also by not having you two there?
Tell him, not travel along the rail ways, when he is near towns, or populations, as it is illegal to be on railroad property, and can result in a fine, and or incarceration, if they should be at the wrong place at the wrong time. All it would take is for a grumpy cop, or some nosy citizen, or grumpy railroad worker, to make the call.
I wish them luck, and a safe and fun journey. Tell your wife, he doesn't need any encouragement. Besides it's a Man thing, she wouldn't understand......uh, maybe you better not....
