4th of July

Happy 4th of July!

No parade this year, but we did find some sparklers. Even at 9:30 it wasn't really dark enough to get the full effect.

DiPAC and Sealaska

Field trips in a new town are extra fun. I'm grateful I was able to join Mady's class on two field trips this month. First up was DiPac Salmon Hatchery . The salmon ladder had a few unintended users.   After watching the interlopers/opportunists, we were able to tour the facility and saw the giant tanks full of salmon fry, the touch tanks, aquarium, and the hands on salmon. Next up was a trip to the Walter Soboloff Building and the Sealaska Heritage Institute. We were given a quick tour and then we heard stories and songs from the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian Peoples.

SHC Episode 3

Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei  also known as the Brotherhood Bridge Trail. There are actually three paths along the way, the paved walking trail, a horse trail, and a hiking trail that winds around through the woods, but never too far from the main trail.  The trail is nicely paved and mostly flat. It starts off through the meadow with a view of Mendenhall Glacier.  Our friends joined us again this week, the 4 older boys are once again forging ahead.  After the meadow the trail winds through the woods and over a river. We found this pretty little robin shell beside the trail.

Welcome to the North

Hello again! The purpose of this page will be to record our adventures in Alaska. We left California (and our Lemon Tree) on July 27, 2019 and arrived in Juneau, Alaska on August 12, 2019.  My intent is to mainly post pictures and not as many words. Possibly a post will cover the month, or maybe not. It's a thought in progress.  However it turns out, I hope you will enjoy an inside view of life in Alaska.
