Dear friends and blog followers, Link to my pics with descriptive captions
News from my weather station.... Over 2 inches of rain fell in Lubbock, should make the national news.
We spent 2 nights at Williwah on the Whittier/Portage Glacier highway and then a night in Anchorage. Went to Alaskan Wildlife Conservation and saw the wood bison.
We spent the day visiting downtown Anchorage and a few museums and got a stamp for Barbara. Did the Alaskan Experience Theater in downtown. Worth the admission of $6 for the two of us.
Made it to Palmer on the 10th and expect to be here 5 nights. Spent the the 11th at the Independence Gold Mine on Hatcher Pass. Closed in the early 50s and has been transformed into a state park. Google it, very nice
Plan to spend some time in the old town of Palmer and we have a great camp site at 10 buck and the wood is furnished. It is perfect weather about 70 clear blue sky.
Spent the afternoon of the 13th at the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. Interesting place.
That is about it for today. We are sitting around a camp fire listing to the radio after cooking a bratwurst. No bear stories just a black and white cat came through the campground. We are camped next to the Matanuska river, the river you follow after leaving Palmer.
This campground is at the end of the Palmer Muni airport and lots of light planes take of and land here during the day.
We are leaving the Palmer are traveling toward Glenallen.
John and Barbara on the road
