We did sit in the hot tub one more time Thursday morning
before we left to drive home. You
can tell from the pictures that the sun did decide to shine. As a matter of fact, it did shine all
the way up the coast. We saw five
volcanoes and the entire Alaska Range across the inlet. We did not stop to take
pictures because we have taken so many of the volcanoes at other times.
When we got to Soldotna we saw an eagle in one small spot of
water on the ice on the river.
We made our stop at the Moose is Loose and headed toward
home. You would think I had never seen a mountain before. I could not stop taking
pictures. The rain from Tuesday and low temperatures in the higher elevations
had made lots of fresh snow on the peaks and, with the sun shining on Thursday,
everything was gorgeous. I will try to take you on the drive with us so you can
see some of what we saw. I know
the pictures do not do the actual scenery justice.
Kenai river – the glacier dust always makes it look green
You can see the snow avalanches in these two pictures.

We
stopped at a bed and breakfast where we will be staying this summer for a
couple of days. This is the view
from the B and B along the Cook Inlet, close to Anchorage.
