Good morning, my friends. We had a lazy morning yesterday. We got up early enough, but then Mike and Smitty went back to bed. While they slept a little longer, I finished of the 7th of the Raggedy and Friends blocks.

Good morning, my friends. We find ourselves in Houston this morning. And I'll bet you thought Houston was in Texas. But no. It’s right here in Alaska. Welcome.

Good morning, my friends. The weather was cooperative for our hike on the Blueberry Loop Trail yesterday morning. We had a little trouble finding it, although our nav unit led us right to it. The signage gave it a different name. Even after arriving at the parking lot, we found yet a different name on the signs posted. Happily, we found the loop we were looking for on the posted map of the trail system.

Good morning, my friends. It was another lovely day in Anchorage yesterday. Rain arrived late in the afternoon, but we enjoyed the sunny parts of the day. Our first stop was the Anchorage Farmers Market. It was a small market, but it's always interesting to see what's available in different parts of the country.

Good morning, my friends. I'm trusting everyone still has all the fingers of both hands. You were careful while handling fireworks yesterday, weren't you? If there were fireworks in Anchorage, we missed them. And what's the use when the sky is light until well past midnight? It was quiet in the RV park last night...mostly.
We spent our yesterday hiking the Eklutna Lakeside Trail, a part of Chugach State Park. We'd originally planned to spend two nights in the state park, camping in the campground. With it being the Fourth of July weekend, we found ...

Good morning, my friends. We'll move on to Anchorage this morning. We have a five-night stay there. It'll be our longest stop of the whole trip. There are some things to see in Anchorage, and we'll also take at least one day trip while we're there.
Getting back to yesterday's activities, we visited the Soldotna Homestead Museum. I'm including all of the informational signs about these cabins we're about to see. I'm not much of a sign reader, myself. You can read them or not. Mike reads all the signs and then ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Welcome to July! It was cloudy for a good part of the morning, and so it was a good day to do some laundry. We'd already planned on Egg McMuffins. Is there a better way to start the day? It took the sting out of doing laundry just knowing we'd pre-reward ourselves with a sumptuous breakfast. And while I'd ordinarily entertain you with pictures of our food, today I'll break with tradition and show you the inside of this particular McDonald's. I liked these simple murals on the walls mainly, I ...

read more Good morning, my friends. Just after posting yesterday, I stepped outside for a few minutes. While I was out, I heard the distinctive call of a bald eagle. Taking a look around...holy-moly!...there were two perched on a roof not 50 yards away. So I grabbed my camera with the telephoto lens and captured this image. We've seen a few bald eagles on our trip, but this was the first time we got a really good look at them.
