What a day



This piece was written on Monday, but the computer shut down on me. I just discovered it in my bolg drafts:

I am parked by the library on Prince of Wales, in Whale Pass. What a great group of people we have met so far. I am so grateful to know these folks, they are real pioneers. Today is one of the most gorgeous days they've seen in a long time. It is clear and gorgeous. Pete brought us two dungeness crabs that he caught in the traps, they are about the size of dinner plates. The two crabs fed us all a great snack with some left over. 

We went to Pete's house this afternoon, he is Pat's neighbor. His place is amazing, he has a great house, and his property crosses a stream, so he built a bridge to where he built a huge barn, and then stairs up to the next level which is a giant garage. Pete has his own sawmill in front of his house. This guy is amazing!

I am having a great time, but cannot get cell reception, and have to drive down here for internet. We will be here two more days before we take the Alaska Marine Highway from Ketchikan to Juneau. Since communication is so spotty, just know that I will post when I can. I have taken about 2000 photos already, and with Mac's tutelage, they are pretty good. 


As soon as I can figure out how to add photos, I will share some. In the meantime, just know I miss home, but I am also having a grand time. This really is the trip of a lifetime.
