OOPS!

OOPS!!!!! MY BAD. I HAVE TO CORRECT A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OFF IT'S NOT THE WASHINGTON GLACIER...IT'S THE WORTHINGTON GLACIER. AND THE FLOWERS ARE CALLED LUPINE , AND FIREWEED AND YOU MUST SPRAY THEM WITH BUG SPRAY BEFORE BRINGING THEM INTO THE MOTORHOME.

IT HAS RAINED EVERYDAY SINCE WE LEFT. GETTING TIRED OF THE RAIN. THE STORE IN VALDEZ IS AMAZING THEY HAVE EVERYTHING PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, AUTOMOTIVE, MEAT AND EVEN LIQUOR. 10% OFF A SIX PACK OR MORE.

WE STAYED AT THIS ONE RV PARK AND THIS OLD MAN TELLS US "DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOG TIED UP TO THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR MOTORHOME UNLESS YOUR TROLLING FOR GRIZZLY". THOUGHT THAT WAS SO FUNNY, BECAUSE WE SAW A PLACE EARLIER THAT HAD A LITTLE DOG TIED UP IN A KENNEL TO THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR TRAILER, AND WE MADE A COMMENT SIMILAR TO THAT.

IN THE MILEPOST THERE IS AN ADD FROM "THE KNIFEMAN" SO WE STOPPED. HIS NAME IS CHUCK BOWEN. WHAT A CRUSTY OLD CHARACTER. HE MAKES KNIVES OF COURSE. AND I BOUGHT THIS SNOW SHOE PIN. QUITE UNIQUE. AND A GREAT PRICE. HIS KNIVES WERE NOT THAT GREAT AND OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED.

THIS IS THE MATANUSKA GLACIER. WHEN WE FIRST SAW IT I ASK ROBERT IF IT WAS A RIVER OR WHAT. IT IS HUGE. THE CREVASSES IN IT ARE ABOUT SIXTY FEET DEEP. IT IS 27 MILES LONG AND UP TO 4 MILES WIDE.

WELL WE MADE IT TO GERRY'S. SUSIE'S BROTHER MARK IS STAYING HERE AS WELL FOR A VISIT.

TODAY THE GUYS WENT FISHING, DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. AND I WENT TO WAL-MART AND GOT MY NAILS DONE. NICE TO BE BACK IN CIVILIZATION. JUST HEARD THEY ARE CLOSING THE RIVERS TO KING FISHING. ROBERT JUST BOUGHT A KING TAG. NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
