Greetings from the great, big, vast state of ALASKA!!
















I can't even begin to tell you how big this state is! We have driven hundreds of miles and I feel like we haven't even scratched the surface. What we have seen is phenomenal!!! We did have a stretch of cloudy and misty weather so mountain-viewing was tough at times. The day we drove to Seward on the Kenai Peninsula started off OK, but it soon starting raining. We saw a couple of glaciers, some of the beautiful mountains and some porpoises in the ocean. When we got to Denali Park, we did not get to see Denali (Mt. McKinley) but the beauty around it is breath-taking. We continue to enjoy the wildlife. We have seen grizzlies, caribou, wolves (saw two lone females on the park road on our bus tour and a pack with pups in the distance -- amazing!!!!!!!), eagles (golden & bald), ptarmigan, and moose. Most of the animals were hard to photograph; they were off in the distance but so much fun to watch. There were a couple of sibling grizzlies romping around on the mountain side. Soooo cool!!!! We are off to Juneau tomorrow, July 31st.





Take care everyone!!!
