Ok here are mostly pictures with a few words to tie them to the blogs they should have been with.

Our drive down Kenai Spur to Captain Cook State Recreation Area lead to these:

Of course we had to photograph the 4th of July Parade:

Enough Parade, there are 400 more images but I won’t bore myself and you!  I mentioned that we had a great time at Veronica’s Coffee House:

And I extolled the virtues of our celebration at Double Musky in Girdwood:

We stayed in our hidden and not so secret camping spot along Portage Glacier Road:

It is near the Chugach National Forest Trail of Blue Ice:

I think I even mentioned that we met some Yupik natives who stopped by our campsite to enjoy the pond:

We are often at our happiest looking at birds and we are especially grateful when a bird poses, and poses and. . .

We even got to see some salmon moving up through the marsh to their spawning grounds:

Then there is Anchorage:

And Palmer:

and the Bear Paw Fair in Eagle River:

Our favorite camping price is  –0- Here we are camping (?) on the street in Talkeetna:

Well that’s all the pictures for now.   I have stories from Denali NP and then on to Nenana and Fairbanks and. . .  but it is 10:50 PM and the sun is still well above the horizon and we have driven eight hours to go to Circle City and back, but that is a tale to be told soon, unless I forget it.
