The pickup, Mo, and Nell are traveling together to Alaska for 6 weeks, from the end of June 2012 through the first week of August. Hotels and B-and-B's have been reserved for this adventure, as well as the Alaska Marine Highway System for our return trip. Enjoy the adventure with us.

Our last stop: Ketchikan, AK
We have been on the ferry since Monday night. We left Whittier in the rain, sunshine in Juneau, and rain and clouds again today. On the way to Yakutat, our first stop along the way, it was sunny and there were miles of snow covered mountains that were lovely.
Highlights of the past few days: Sunday: spent time in Cooper Landing with Marge Van Kooten and friends. Three lovely ladies, who built and manage a Senior Retirement Center complex overlooking Kenai Lake. Worshipped at a Baptist Church and were treated to lunch at the Princess Lodge, owned by the Princess Cruise Line. Monday: Rained again. Took hike anyway with a ranger to the Exit Glacier. This glacier has receded 150 ft this year. It is still a mass of ice, exciting to see.

Now we are nearing the end of this adventure. After we leave Ketchikan, we will have 37 hours left on the ferry before arriving in Bellingham. This trip has given us a deeper appreciation for the land, sea, mountains and variety of animals and people that God created. To God be the glory! Amen
