Fairbanks
We departed Sterling on Aug 26th stopped off in Wasilla to see grandson Kelly and then proceeded on to Fairbanks. We are staying at the grandkids home Mercedes and Britt Anderson.
We have enjoyed visiting with daughter Randee, granddaughters Sarah and Mercedes, grandson Ryker and sister Debbie so far. We have also done a little sightseeing/picture taking of the Alaska Pipeline.
Alaskan Summer
Well our Alaskan Summer is on the wind down. We arrived in Sterling Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula on June 22 and departed Aug 26th. We stayed at the home of Glynn,
Terry
and Molly Brown.
The hospitality was great the Brown's are awesome friends. We did some camping on the spit in Homer in their travel trailer and fished for halibut out of Homer.
Don and Glynn went shrimping
out of Whittier and they caught black bass and yellow eye
out of Seward.
Don and Glynn also did some stomping around looking for gold but alas they found none. We did attend a couple of GPAA meetings and learned they are getting a lot of gold right off the beach in Kenai and Nikiski. It is fine stuff so they are taking it to Joe's to run on his magnetic table to separate the gold from the black sand.
We also got to spend time with granddaughter Samantha THAT WAS GREAT!!
Terry, Samantha and I made one day strictly a girls day and took off and went to Anchorage
. We were also able to spend some time with granddaughter Sarah and grandson Ryker. Samantha, Don and I spent the 4th of July in Seward watching the Mt Marathon Race.
Glynn and Terry held their annual summer barbecue so Don got to visit with a lot of the guys he had worked with here.Glynn, Terry, Molly, Don and I spent some wonderful evenings around the redneck fire pit.
Don wants one real bad says he is going to build one as soon as we get home.
