Happy 4th of July to ALL

BJ and I hope you all have as great a 4th as we are. We will be in town of Kenai on the Kenai Peninsula from 4-7 July in a campground overlooking Cook Inlet where the Beluga Whales play!

We were in Anchorage for an overnight then took a sidetrip on train to Spencer Glacier on our way to Kenai Peninsula!  Did an overnight at beautiful Turnagain Pass in huge rest area with nothing but beautiful mountains around us!


There really are whistle stops on the AK RR
Boarding the train!

That piece of Spencer Glacier in my hand may be hundreds of years old!


























More Glaciers in the mountains, over 100,000 glaciers in AK we were told!

Always at home, no matter where we are!!
