July 14

Ok, so there was a bit of a change in plans. We decided to go on down to Valdez (long e sound) instead of off to Homer. There wasn't any reliable access so we had to wait until this evening when we stopped at the Sheep Creek Lodge between Anchorage and Denali.

Where do I start? Thursday when we left Tok (pronounced as in the first part of the Japanese city Tokyo) it was rainy and cloudy. As we were nearing one of the National Parks we saw the mountains begin to take shape like this.

Which was all well and good. But it only got better! At some point you simply say, "God you win! I can't take in any more of the gradure and beauty and still be able to discribe it." By the time we got to Valdez it was looking like this which I believe is the Worthington Glacier.
On Friday we went out into Prince William Sound with Stan and Mary Ellen and saw:

And these: sea lions, puffins, icebergs, and whales and more.

Sorry you will have to wait for those pictures until later.
