Alaska Trip

Our road trip in Alaska was amazing. The natural beauty of the wildflowers, seeing grizzly, whales, bald eagles, moose and wolves, and talking about the history of this landscape was mind jogging. We flew into Anchorage then drove a motor-home up to Denali. Then far north to Mukluk Land and south through Whittier and Homer. Caught fish that we barbequed. Hiked on a melting glacier and felt sad that the blue ice is going away so rapidly. 

I recommend Phillips Tour boat in Whittier and Crazy Rays for both the experience of hearing kittiwake gulls calling to the seals and Rays for a real fishing adventure.  

Denali is majestic.  Though you are required to ride a bus, you can get out and hike.

The Anton Andersen tunnel to Whittier is a feat of engineering. The abandoned Buckner building haunted by those who died in the 1964 earthquake is worth peeking in the chain link fence before they knock it down.

In Homer we had halibut tacos at the trailer The Tickled Pear. Rode the ferry with Coldwater Boats for a day trip to camp in Kachemak Bay State Park. We saw bald eagles fishing there and they remind how wonderful America is to see. Thank you everyone in Alaska for your kindness and warm greetings.
