Well, here's the guest blogger again this morning. We are camped here in Palmer, Alaska at a lovely RV park. It's cool this morning and cloudy (unlike the weather we're hearing that's in
St. Louis). Yesterday we left Kenai and headed north toward Anchorage. The Anchorage RV
parks didn't look very nice so we ended up here in Palmer which is very nice and just about 30
minutes north of Anchorage. Today is our last day with Beth and John - we are touring
Anchorage and they will drop us off this evening some time after dinner. Our flight home leaves
early tomorrow morning so we are staying at a hotel tonight and they will begin their trek
home tomorrow.

Yesterday after we got settled in the campground, Jerry and John tried their hand at salmon
fishing at a couple of nearby lakes. Finally decided they just didn't have the proper gear for
catching salmon. Grilled brats for dinner and played Sequence and Liverpool (our favorite
card game).

Speaking for Jerry and I, it's been a wonderful 3 weeks in the interior of Alaska, seeing so
much beauty - mountains, lakes, rivers, wildlife (although we are still wishing to see a moose
and/or a bear) and sharing it with our good friends. It is now our hope that they have a safe
trip home.
