We woke today to some rain and wind. The rain stopped but the wind continued… And we were treated this morning to this fellow:
Today would have been my mom’s 81st birthday – so Happy Birthday, Mom! I miss you!
We decided to take a walk down the Spit towards town. It was a great walk out and a very windy walk back but at least we got some exercise by doing about 3 miles.
Our walk took us past the industrial harbor – this is low tide – they load up the barges and when the tide comes in – off they go:
We had seen tires marked like this throughout Alaska so we got talking to a trucker at the industrial harbor and he told us they are marked so in winter in the snow they can see if their tires are moving or if they are frozen.
The entrance to the industrial harbor at low tide:
We also walked by the “graveyard” – this one looks an old pirate ship – AHOY MATIE!!!
And on our walk back – the other side of the Spit:
A nice walk after all!
After supper this evening we stopped by the Elks Lodge and had a few drinks with Larry and Cheryl and Earlene and Bill (who we met in Congress, AZ at North Ranch in March of this year – what a small world!). Back at the MH, we sat out with Bruce and Sue and just watched the beautiful sunset after the wind stopped. Tomorrow we are heading out – not sure where so stay tuned.
