Alaska Wanderings (July 27-September 2, 2023)

Living life on the edge in Girdwood, Alaska

Every summer that we visit Alaska this blog devotes an issue to some photos to hopefully show the readers the beauty and ruggedness of our 50th state.  This will be that issue.

During the past five weeks we have seen the church, where I have been serving as interim pastor, interview and extend a "call" to a parsonage family from North Dakota.  They have accepted and will arrive soon.  Our last day in Seward will be September 17 and the next blog you read will have been penned in Indiana.  It has been a joy to pastor these fine people.
Also, during this time frame, we experienced a visit from our oldest son and his wife.  They flew into
the Last Great Frontier to join us in a jaunt of about 1,400 miles across the massive state.  Stops were made in several places including; Talkeetna, Palmer, Wasilla, Seward, Homer, Ninilchik, Whittier, Anchorage, Soldotna, Kenai, and Girdwood.  They were exciting and wonderful days of, once again, exploring this great state.

Many of the following photographs are from those days.  Others are from our time in Seward since the last blog was published on July 26th.
