July 23rd

Not much is happening today. It's a beautiful sunny, warm day (for a change) and Gary has gone out fishing on the river here at the campground. I think he's worked out something for tomorrow to go out on the boat with Travis early... around 6 am! So today is a rest & relaxation day. Yipee!! So not too much to post other than to answer some of your comments:

Dan: Thanks for explaining the whole "Deadliest Catch" thing. I was confident that you would clear it up and add appropriate links to inform us all on the details of that. It does sound interesting.... and dangerous. Sorry about the slow trip through Alaska. I had no idea that when we got here we were on such a time schedule.... or at least an alphabet schedule! Can't you do your magic and make it work? I believe you can figure something out! Does it help that this campground and the next will be repeats? I hope we helped you out there.

Martie: THIS is not camping. We have literally brought the kitchen sink (and the leaky toilet) with us! Who goes camping with the microwave and refrigerator/freezer? Other than paying a camping fee, we are traveling in "luxury".... well, at least compared to our typical camping trips. The down side to traving in this luxury is... we have to fix the kitchen sink and the leaky toilet.

Gerry: Sorry to hear that you are spending a very hot summer hauling wood off OUR lot in preparation for winter. Remember... we did beg you to come out here and join us for the very low cost of 10 bags of Bolivia's Best coffee.... but NO! You are just too busy for that. Gary enjoyed the conversation also. See ya' soon.

Geoff: I trusted Gary, with his boyscout skills, to always be prepared. Why he didn't have a toilet valve in his back pocket.... I don't know!!
