Thursday, August 16, 2012 - Homer to Anchorage

Let's make today a "catch up" day for things I have forgotten to mention and photos i want to share.

Last Sunday we took Rosemary and Bill to the Airport so  they could fly to Seattle, then to Denver and end up in Des Moines..  After 25 sleeps in the MH, they look like they are happy to leave us.  We had a great time and now they are back home and today we are back in Anchorage.  We have a 4:00 with Kati and Dan Rogness for dinner and conversation.

A photo of Hope valley on the Seward Hwy.  The shot below is a gal from Hope that comes up to the pull-out by the Hope exit.  Industrious young lady.  I had to buy some coffee.

There are some beautiful view on the Sterling Hwy.  This is west of Soldotna and looking across the Bay of Alaskla at Readout mountain, still and active volcano.

I also forgot to tell you about the encounter that Rose and Connie had with a bear at Exit Glacier.  As they were walking back to the Visitor's Center on the trail, Connie heard a rustling in the woods.  They kept on walking, but a small bear walked across the trail and onto the other side right behind them.  At least the bear kept right on walking and completely ignored everyone on the trail!!  Whew!!
