Howdy, I am still trying to figure out this site, so please bare with me, I'll get it all on in some form or another. The photo above is of Bridelvail falls, on the way to Valdez. This photo is also on the way to Valdez. This one, above (all captions will be below the photo), was shot from the tour boat at Seward. The snow melting is where the water comes from. I really had high hopes of getting a shot like this. It felt good to get a good one. It was a small hump back whale, but, I'm not complaining. There was a strong wind blowing from the back of this Eagle that made it's feathers stand up. I walked 180 degrees around this 20 foot pole from the Eagle's back to front at about 10 feet away and it only looked at me once. Awesome bird up close. This was our view for 3 days in Seward. Ty and derek looking at that view. Check out that clean trailer, Ty washed it for me, while I was washing clothes, as my birthday present. Thank you again Ty. View from back of the boat that we went out on. Very nice. This is a boat like the one we were on, viewed from our camp spot. A good photo of Ty and Brenda, standing in front of Horsetail falls near Valdez. we had a great time traveling together, saw some great sights, and eat some good food that Brenda prepared. Some guy gave Brenda two big fresh salmon, for charging his cell phone battery, and although she had never cooked fresh salmon before, she did a great job with it. Thanks Brenda. >>>>>LATER<<<<<

Howdy to all, I'm sorry for the delay in posting but mostly because of not being able to find wi-fi that was usable. Also no photos tonight as I have not had time to resize them. I will put some on this weekend. Ty, Brenda, & Derek knocked on my door at 5 am June 15th , and for the last 10 days we have been to Valdez, Seward, Homer, and arrived in Denali yesterday afternoon. I have slept most of the day today to catch up.Tomorrow, 6/27 we are booked on an 8hr tour by buss in Denali Natl. park. Hey, I just looked at the time, 12:05am, and I have to be up at 5:30am. We are leaving here Sat. to go to Fairbanks, from there Ty & Brenda are leaving me to head back to the lower 48. I will take some time to work on some photos and post. >>>>>LATER<<<<<

These photos are south of Haines junction, BC. after sundown where I came upon the snow. I was told the next day that it was very unusual for it to snow in June. It was very pretty, and cold, 38 degrees at the time the photos were shot. I spent the night in a pull off along the side of the road. As you can see, it was almost dark from the heavy clouds. The rest of the photos were shot the next morning with a little more light. The way the light was on this mountain made it and the clouds appear silver. Very pretty! This was along side the road coming around a curve. I went by it before I could stop safely, so I turned and came back for the shot. It reminded me of the old line shacks in the western movies, if it only had a couple of horses tied up out front and smoke coming out from the chimney. Beautiful drive! I have been staying at Tok, Ak. catching up on some rest and also waiting on Ty, Brenda, and Derek Martindale to catch up. They should be here tomorrow, Sunday. Not much here and very little to take photos of. I did get the truck and trailer rinsed off. I was going to wash them but only have access to coin type wash at $3.00 for 10 min. It cost $9.00 just to knock off the loose stuff with high pressure. Oh well, things are different away from the big cities. >>>>>LATER<<<<<

Hello folks, I got into Tok, Ak. last night, I think it was night, it was still light out when I went to bed about 11:30 pm. I was one tired puppy. The roads I traveled for 3 days were VERY rough. This photo shows the results of the road condition after traveling through construction sites. If it had not rained they would wet the road until it became muddy to keep the dust down, but some had neither and were very dusty. Most is pavement but lots of frost heaves and dips, and there were some good spots too. So far everything has held together, but I did see a first last night, when I opened the freezer door I found several ice cubes had bounced out of the trays. Anyone coming behind me, "do not come up hwy 37 from Stewart to hwy 1". It took me 12 hours driving time. Most of the way I was from 2 mph to 35 mph. There is no services except one gas station about 150 miles south of hwy 1. Three of us pulled in there at 6:00 pm, two going south and me going north, the woman was closing and would not sell us any fuel. I ran out about 40 miles south of hwy 1, no traffic on this road, it was 48 deg. and raining. There was nowhere to pull off the road so I turned on my flashers and prepared myself to spend the night. In about 1 1/2 hours I saw head lights, it was a construction worker with a tank of fuel in back of his truck. He sold me about 5 gal. I think he was another one of my Angles, they sure do look after me well. It had a good ending, as most things do if you think positive. That was one thing, there are many good ones to over shadow those kind, which I will post as soon as I get the photos ready. I have some good ones to show you. >>>>>LATER<<<<<

I am camped outside the airstream dealer here in Spokane, Wa. Tomorrow will be a week and will be here until next wed. at least. I came in last weekend to get the recall done on my ref., and a few other items as well. While here I decided to add some more solar panels on the roof of the trailer, also including an inverter for ac power. Now I can dry camp. I haven't been out doing anything much, I don't like big cities, so I will post a few photos I shot while down in Oregon. This is Wallowa lake, just south of Joseph, Or. This is at a very small town named Imnaha, Or. and that is the Imnaha river. This is the end of the road. Mama standing guard over her colt. Hey, it's feeding time. A very pretty sight. There were others but I left, they were letting me know that they didn't like me there. Maybe they were camera shy. By the way, if you ckick on the picture it will get larger for a better view.

The trip from Oregon to Washington was spectacular. There was an area along the state line of green mountains and a valley with a long decent, was told 7 miles, of a steep and crooked road. At the bottom was a big river, and a long switch back road up the other side. The truck performed great, both up and down. The photo above is part of the road down into the valley. A view of the river after starting up out of the valley. No photos at the bottom, there are not many places to pull over with a rig that is 52 ft. long. Part of the road coming out of the valley. This is so beautiful I wanted to stop and take a picture around every curve, but then that is not possible. I hope each of you enjoy these photos, even though they can only show a small part of the whole picture.

OK, time to move on once again. I am hooked up and ready to leave Enterprise, Or. It has been a nice break and very enjoyable, although the weather has not been that great at times. I did get the truck and trailer washed yesterday, they needed it very bad. My friend, Joe Sikos, alerted me to a recall on my type of refrigerator, upon checking, it is on the list. Thanks Joe. I have an appointment Tuesday AM in Spokane, Washington to get repaired. That is about 200 miles from here, not much out of the way but a change of routes. I looked at the route on Google Earth and it looks interesting. I love that program. I can check the roads, the type of terrain, the elevation of the roads, and lots more info. If any of you have not used it, check it out. Well I must get to bed so I can get on the road before noon today, Sunday.
