Seward to Hidden Lakes

Grasshopper the Native Eskimo told us how he was here during the 1964 Earthaquake when he was 12 yrs old. June 26 was his birthday (same as my brother Ryan). Sherry, our friend, brought out a Reese candy bar with a candle and we sang Happy Birthday to him. This is his Token he is holding up. He was a mole in the war. This is someone who has to crawl through the tunnels looking fot the ememy. He was fun to chat with out our campsite.
A church with "Red Doors". My mom asked me to find a church with red doors. This was the only one we found so far. It definitely meets the criteria. Seward, Alaska. This is an Episcopal Church. There are as many bars in Seward as there are churches and 20% of the people are incarcerated.



We moved to Hidden Lakes yesterday. In Seward I saw the boat my boss Brian Melear and his family went on. We left a rainy Sunday and landed in a beautiful lakeside spot on the lake. The host here said people are usually on a waiting list to get to our site. We just were lucky. We are traveling with friends we met on the Klutina River. The zodiac is going to get inflated this morn and we are going to try and catch Lake trout and Rainbow trout. The Russian River is just down the road and they say they are catching (snagging) salmon there. We had Halibut last night for supper from what we caught yum yum. We also went to the Marine Sea Aquarium and saw sea lions, octupus, etc. Very educational and interesting. The temp is 65 at noon today. Love to all.
