So the count down is on…….a tad bit over three weeks and we are hoping for a great salmon run in Alaska and  take advantage of fishing up there!!!  I remember Betty Carruthers talking about their numerous times fishing on the Kenai River.  I think they canned their fish.  Cliff and I plan on filleting ours and vacuum sealing  then freezing.

I’m going about this trip maybe a bit too calm, but I know what the grocery stores are like on our way, and am comfortable with their choices, products, and prices…..Yes it’s atrociously expensive in the middle of Alaska, but will bypass that town for shopping!!!!

$8 for a bag of chips is atrocious!!!!!  Glenhollen is where we went shopping, didn’t go into a store in Tok, but guessing their prices would be the same or higher being they are further north and more in the middle of the state.

Looking forward to R&R  big time………..Looking forward to having Paxton hang with us and taking him on some fun adventures, walk on a glacier, kayaking in the ocean, viewing sea otters etc. and a boat excursion to see more sea animals, and big ones at that!  Listening to him read some fun adventures from the series of books “The Magic Treehouse”!  I’m hoping to get lots and lots of animal pictures, know I posted tons of scenic pictures last time………Anyway……………enjoy these lovely, lovely days/mornings and evenings!  Karen
