Road Stories...Les & Janet, Alaska.

We made it to Alaska!

Six weeks, eight states, two Canadian provinces and 6,660 miles.

Les and Janet are spending four months in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula fishing for halibut and salmon and digging for razor clams, biking and birding, sightseeing and watching whales and eagles, moose, bear, caribou and Dall sheep.
Just today we saw six moose right next to the road!
How great is that???

We are at Clam Gulch State Park where we are
learning about minus tides
and clamming
and practicing to catch some fish.
And near us we hiked to an area today where we were surrounded by more than 100 bald eagles on the Kenai river.

Come visit us this summer.
We'll be smoking the salmon and cleaning up a mess of clams for chowder.

The attached picture is from way up in front of the Sign Post Forest on the Alaska Highway outside of Watson Lake in the Yukon Territory.
There was a sign there for McAllen but we didn't find one from Edinburg.

Oh Boy! We are coming. Save me some smoked salmon!

Mary and I saw those signs too, in 2008 on our way back down from Don & Vanessa's place. What, 64000 signs? I forget...

We probably spent an hour among them, and saw only a tiny fraction.
