Alaska with Lawson - 2024

 Did I mention rain?  Dang this rain made Juneau seem sunny.   Psalms 90:14

 We enjoyed walking without rain for a bit down the waterfront in Juneau where they have a great whale fountain.  Then we went to the fish hatchery and on to our boat bound for Ketchikan.  Lots of rain.  We were playing cards and would run out to watch several whales.   Even with the rain, the marine highway is spectacular. read Psalms 1

 At the top of the Goldbelt Tram in Juneau we were in the clouds.  With a brief break in the rain (45 seconds) we could see the four cruise ships in port.  Lawson struck up a conversation with the maintenance manager and we got a tour of the motor room.  600 hp DC motor.  Impressive. Out to the Mendenhall Glacier where it's interesting to see how much it has receded since I was here in 2012.  The rain persisted so we had lasagna and pizza which is good for rain depression. Psalms 40:2-3

 I think people in Juneau go to Seattle for a little sunshine. We suited up and enjoyed walking around the waterfront.  Four huge cruise ships in port. Psalm 16:11 today.

 We woke up on Crow Creek outside of Girdwood.   Old Gold mine up there.  Lawson had a tour with the manager of lift operations at Alyeska Ski Resort.  Then we drove the coast to Anchorage and returned the RV. We dropped luggage and visited the Alaska Air Museum and looked out over the largest seaplane base in the world.  Amazing the amount of General Aviation aircraft sitting around on ground or floats. I am always amazed at the number of 747 cargo planes coming and going out the window at Anchorage airport.  Tonight we flew into Juneau.  We got Lawson a window seat....we thought. Proverbs 30:8-9

 Great seafood Alfredo at Rays. Today we went out to see the Exit Glacier. Big change since I was here in 2012. Astonishing   Then we drove up to Girdwood/Alyeska today. We will spend the night somewhere around here after Lawson checks out this ski operation as a future potential place to work   Proverbs 29 today
