Photos won't post at end of blog.  Oh well, Paula and Dale, almost at the summit.

Mike and I of course, almost at the summit. 

Today we cleaned up around the camper, did our laundry and got ready for Jackie and Bud!!!!!  I spoke with Melissa and the boys.  So nice to hear their voices.  We decided to go downtown and view the Earthquake short movie with real quake movement in your seats as it played.  Funny really.  Then we went to one about the Aurora Borealis!  This one was really informative and awesome views of Alaska like you were in a plane.  The Aurora Borealis was beautiful.  We walked around and looked in the different shops than went to the Hard Rock Cafe for a margarita, which was very good.   Just a nice warm sunny day to walk around Downtown Anchorage.

On Monday we drove to Soldotna to got our hair cut and then drove to Homer.  We went out on the "spit" and drove around. We went into the famous "Salty Dog" bar on the spit.  Had an Alaskan Bear and talked with different people there.  After we drove around Homer a little and then drove back to Anchorage.  The views were nicer than in the morning, which was foggy for most of the drive.  Tuesday was raining and cold.  We did not do very much except bill paying and reading.  Watched a few movies also.

Wednesday we went to the Visitor Center where they had an interesting session on Earthquakes, yes there is a lot of informative things about Earthquakes /Tsunami's here.  It is because they have so many, a lot of them we don't hear about.  So, they have many talks, movies, slide shows etc. on the subject.

Thursday we drove up to Wasilla to see Paula and Dale.  We went fishing, well I did not fish but Mike, Paula and Dale did.  I watched and walked around Willow Creek. Afterwards, they took us to Hatcher Pass.  Wow, a hidden gem that is another scenic and high climbing road.  Yes, high up again we went but so beautiful and there is an old "Mine" there that you can walk around and was very interesting.  Back to their house for dinner, wine and great discussions again.  So much fun, laughter and good food.  We met Josh's girlfriend Lauren, they had been on a hike up a pretty high mountain, I do not remember the name of it.   Anyway, another awesome day with fantastic company.

These are a mountain range we see on the Turnagain Arm drive out of Anchorage towards Homer.

Just a selfie of our new do's, not good but what the heck.

Mike with one of the fish he caught, with his Dad's fly rod, but released.

Driving on the Seward Hwy.  These are the Chigmit Mtn. range.  The big one is Mt. Iliamma.

View of Homer "spit" that is what they call this peninsula out of Homer, with Mtns. in the background.

View of Mounts driving onto the "Spit".

Hatcher Pass, almost at the summit.  That curvy thing is the road up.
