Tuesday, July 29th
Tuesday was an unusual day since Rich was packing up his RV for his travels to Coos Bay, Oregon for the MI rally. Weather was nice enough, we were able to grill outside and eat outside - something we haven't been able to do very much of. Teddy has moved into the Ehlenberg's RV while his Dad is away. Teddy and Patti play endlessly, but not quite as much since they are together all the time. Patti is definitely our Alfa Dog wanting everything her way. Teddy is too much of a gentleman to put her in her place.
Wednesday was the day to go panning for gold. Found the area recommended to surely find gold. The weather was perfect - clear skies and temps around 70. All was going well - NO gold - when Betty decided to turn around and lost her balance and ended up in the creek. That then ended the gold panning although Tam brought a bucket of tailings back with her. Betty had to change her clothes before we could continue on with our day.
After leaving the campground for the 2nd time, Ray and Jack treated Tam and Betty to a luxurious lunch at Sam's Club. Upon returning to the cg, we were able to enjoy both Happy Hour and dinner outside. We grilled some of our salmon from Homer - yummy!!!
The day was the best we've had in Alaska. We actually sat outside until after 8pm. Heard on the news that Mt. Denali was visible most of the day thanks to the clear weather.
Since our blogger is out of pocket for many days, we are trying to keep everyone up to date. Not sure if there will be any pictures. Rich did explain how to do it, but not sure any of us passed the course.
The Tanenna State Fair starts tomorrow. We hope to enjoy it before departing Fairbanks on Sunday, Aug. 3rd.
