Tonight is the first night Gary and I have been just the two of us in three weeks. It has gone by so fast and was so great. First Chip and Penelope for two full, happy wonderful weeks and then Rob, Maria, Henry and Annie for 5 1/2 wonderful days.
We covered a lot of territory in that time: halibut fishing, exploring Halibut Cove near Homer, two bus trips to Kantishna in the back country at Denali Park including seeing so many wonderful wild animals, and one spectacular flight seeing trip back out from Kantishna to the park entrance, fishing in the Kenai River, hiking to Exit Glacier, gold panning, a tour of Gold Dredge Number 8, two fabulous boat tours of the Kenai Fjords Natl Park, and riding in a cart pulled by a team of Alaskan huskies through the forest as they keep in shape during the summer. Lots of laughs, great meals, great conversations, and satisfaction at seeing this beautiful state.
I posted photos on Facebook and that's about what I can do for now. WiFi is underpowered at best and non existent in many places. Facebook seems to work better than anything else.
We are in a nice RV park on the Glenn Highway tonight, just below the snow line. It has been cool and wet much of our time here, if not just downright cold. The only nice weather was in Fairbanks. This strange weather pattern persists. It snowed two nights ago in the mountains near Seward. Some are wondering if this is still last winter or the start of next winter!
We will be back on the Alaska Highway by tomorrow, and will then head down the Cassiar Highway, for anybody who wants to look on a map. Then we will head east through the Canadian Rockies before re-entering the lower 48.
