Trip to Alaska,2015

It's been quite a while since I blogged on our trip, haven't had the best connections, so finally getting back to it.  We have had quite a trip, have had weather as cold as 43 and as high as 92, but mostly it has been really nice, cools down at night with good sleeping weather.
We got to Kathy's and had a great visit, then Jay and I headed to Homer, we stayed there 2 days, then headed back to Soldnota to "The Property". Steve and Mike came the same day we did. Kathy and Lisa and her family and Jenny came on Monday, July 13th.  It was so much fun camping with them all. Jay went fishing every day and got his limit each day but 2.  He caught 13 salmon altogether.
He sure enjoyed that. We spent 9 days at the Property with Kathy's family.
Sat., July 25th, we took off towards home. We got to Tok that night, next stop was in Whitehorse, stayed there overnight, then we headed to Watson Lake, got to Muncho Bay, stayed at a Provincial
Campground there, next stop was Dawson Creek, spent the night, then got to Red Deer and since it was storming, we decided we were staying in a Motel in Red Deer. Hope to get across the boarder tomorrow, then will be back in the lower states, will seem nice. We have had good traveling, did get to take the Alcon Highway back to Dawson Creek this time, we did see where the forest fire had been, right along the highway. Really bad.
It's been sure a fun trip, still have some things we want to see in the lower states, such as Yellowstone, Badlands and Mount Rushmore. That was the trip we took on our Honeymoon 50 years ago.  I am sure it has changed, but will be nice to check it out.
Hope we have better internet in the coming days. If not, we hope to be home the first part of Aug.
 Just have to say, Kathy we had a great time with your family, thank you and Steve for sharing them with us. Love to all.
