And the JOURNEY proceeds!

 
7/8/11

Talkeetna and Beyond:
The visit to Northern Exposure was delightful as usual. The ‘road warriors’ surely enjoyed it and the sights to be seen.  Had a nice dinner out at a real restaurant and slept soundly in campground with showers!!
We all enjoyed the McKinley experience, given by a ranger who presented the possibilities and probabilities with facts and humor.
Didn’t get anyone to sign on, but ZJ looked with interest.
Leaving Talkeetna, headed to check out Trappers Creek and Petersville. Another trail the prospectors settled in the search for gold.
Traveled half the way down and it turned to gravel, which is not our choice for rv, so lo an behold there was Gate Creek Cabins, which we all agreed would be a nice sleepover. Delightful and cozy, the gang enjoyed a bit of boating, and fishing-along with warm showers. The evening stay was greatly enjoyed by all. (Gotta get out of the rv once and a while) The road warriors surely would have stayed there for a while.

With T’s new camera, we were all having a bit of fun and experimenting with some of the settings. The warriors are doing most of the photography, so be thankful that I deleted 250 shots from this day shooting------ stay tuned to some really interesting photo techniques.
Also of note is background of  fireweed which has been more obvious in this part of Aleyska.
