Time Flies - Haines, Hyder and Kennicott
We arrived back in the lower 48 yesterday. I apologize for the delay in our blog. As many know, our good friend Ron Marlin passed away last week while we were in Haines. When I am done with this blog, I will be having a special edition featuring Ron and Rhonda. So, when we last posted, we were still in Valdez. We have traveled a long ways since then so I will try to catch everyone up. Our travels went from Valdez to Chitina where we visited the Kennicott Mine. From there we headed back through Tok to Haines where we also took a ferry to Skagway. Currently, we are arriving in Hyder, Alaska (our last Alaska town of this trip) to hopefully see bears feasting on salmon. We did finally see some bears in Valdez. Here is a mom and cub about a mile down from our campsite. We had to take a FaceTime call in the middle of nowhere for a special announcement. Our newest Grandaughter, Valerie, is due in February. Thank you StarLink. Two old guys taking pictures with their drones. This was over
