Thursday morning we retire as campground hosts and go awandering. It is time to travel and find some warm, sunny days before summer slips away on us. Ninilchik set a record for rain in July and the trend continues. It's been a great stay and we've been able to see and do plenty, but the travel itch needs to be scratched.
First stop is Seward for a day trip on a boat out to see whales, puffins, and glaciers. Then we point it north toward Fairbanks via the Parks Highway and Denali as they've been hitting 80+ degrees most days. Chena Hot Springs is big on our list of stops too.
Sarah Palin showed up here for an over-nighter with her entourage to film a segment for her "reality show" i.e. Sarah and family dig for clams. We stayed well away, but were amused that for the scene where "Sarah cooks a wholesome dinner for her family" she had to borrow a skillet from a fellow camper. Reality indeed!
Silver salmon are running up Deep Creek now and folks are doing pretty well on the incoming tides. The run is on!
Engine room --- make steam!

Wow, the summer sure has flown by! Seems like just yesterday you were packing up to leave home. What a hoot about the Sarah Palin filming -- it wasn't you who loaned her the fry pan, was it? Let us know how you find the Dalton -- you're doing that, right?
