Son of a gun. I've been adding to my blog at least every few days and now I find out they never made it to my blog. AAAGGGHHHH!!! Wifi my butt. Well anyway, we're here in Valdez,AK now and will be here for three days. Tomorrow we will go on a 9 hour cruise. Hopefully we'll see some wildlife. like whales and eagles. On our trip today, which started out three hours late thanks to our turn signals not working on the motor home, we had a brief encounter with a young black bear. He was getting ready to cross the road but he took one look at me driving and ran the other direction and up a tree. I saw him far enough back so I slowed down quite a bit. No danger to either the bear or the coach. Also on our travels today we saw beautiful glaciers. You can't imagine the beauty of the state of Alaska. One of the blog readers asked me if it was mid summer yet. Heck no, fall started August 1st. Today we actually saw some trees turning yellow. I'm going to try and upload some pictures.I think it worked. Barbara and me with Exit glacier in the background. Barbara at the Palmer sign
