... would be a park lodge or visitors center. What a mixed bag we Alaskans are. <br><br>Since this is my first blog, I thought it best to start at home. I think world travelers want to come here. They just have to put with AK's eccentricities. Half the people in the state live within the city limits of Anchorage. In the book "Coming into the Country" John McPhee, wrote something like...Anchorage is not a great town, but it has the best out-of-town any town ever had. It's ten ...

... br><br>After a couple of hours back at the campground, a bus from the Sourdough Mining Co. shuttled us to the restaurant for dinner and a show. <br><br>We arrived early and had time to visit the Alaska Wid Berry Products showroom across the parking lot. They sold chocolate, souvenirs, wildberry jams and jellies made in Anchorage from hand-picked Alaskan wild berries, Alaskan salmon, smoked halibut, reindeer ...

... lined with salmon fishermen, whitewater rafts, mountain lakes, and many, many log cabins and cottages (See Pic). On arrival at Seward we picked out two campsites overlooking the Seward harbor and watched the boats go in and out. Even Sophie got into the act. (See Pic). We also visited the Alaska Sealife Center, a combination aquarium, research institute and animal recovery center. Neat place! On July 21 we left Seward and started for Valdez. The road to ...

... in the Sea of Cortés between January and March. The Bering Sea, most scientists believe, stands as an indicator of climate change. Changes in the population of marine life, variations in sea ice, and warming of the ocean itself are noticeable measures of the physical and biological components of the ecosystem, although the effects are not yet completely understood. Each year ice may extend 600 miles south of the Bering Strait. Named for Vitus ...

... buy. I call it the Costco effect - you plan on just buying a few things and then you see all this cool stuff you did not think you needed. We dropped that off at the RV and then went to try to find a bike shop to fix Pooh's bike. First was REI but they were way busy. Then another shop, but it was going to take them too long. They did refer us to another shop down the road where the guy was really nice. He was so nice that Pooh felt guilty not giving him any service ...

Well I finally started a travel blog (thanks Mom). I'm back to work and making use of a rare mid-contract reprieve to use the internet (ever more rare) and get in contact with the rest of the world again (you get the idea). This unexpected weekend was provided by my last deployment, to the C/P F/V Bountiful, who dropped me off at the Trident plant in St Paul (one of Alaska'a Pribloff islands) after ...

... the<br>highlight of our trip, there many animals here to see in their natural<br>habitat (not like a zoo) and all the proceeds from the admission ticket<br>and gift shop purchases go to taking care of them. I even got to feed a<br>deer. My alaska trip was amazing and I look forward to the day that I<br>can revisit this beautiful state of wilderness.

... as if at any moment it could rain down death with uttter disregard for one's self important existence. It wasn't death that fell from the sky as Andres tucked the fuel can and camping burner into his pack, but it felt like it. The mist picked up to an undeniable rain. The rain became a torrent. Andres reluctantly snubbed out his cigarette, placed the butt into his pocket, and climbed onto his bike. I fumbled with my pack and pulled out a poncho and donned it over my already ...

Now I tell the story of how I got a step-mom... I was 4 and Nicolas was 5. My Dad still had no wife. But since it was Christmas, my Dad felt like he found God's angel wanting to help, and now that angel is my mom. Her name is now Mrs. Barren-Peterson. She is only a year younger than my dad, but she was still good then ...
