Soldotna, Alaska

July 24^th

The weather changes very fast here in Alaska! The clouds have covered the sun and it has been raining since Sunday and is forecast to continue until Friday or Saturday. It sounds like some of you wouldn’t mind trading with us.

We are camped about 15 miles south of Soldotna at Johnson Lake State campground. We chose it because of the lake and the campsites. There’s plenty of room between the wooded sites, unlike private campgrounds where you are side by side in a gravel parking lot. We are near the clam beaches and Homer for halibut fishing. The Kenai and Russian Rivers for salmon are nearby too.

We have our fingers crossed that Kim, Kurt (Delta pilot) and the girls will make the flight to Anchorage out of Salt Lake tomorrow. They’re flying standby but there are 30 other people on the standby list for the flight they want! Once they’re here I probably won’t have much time to update the blog so I’ll fill you in when I can. Until then….
