Today was another gorgeous day.
Sunshine all day, morning temperature 43 but quickly rising, with a high of 70.
That's the hottest we have seen in quite a while. We may have to
think about heading north to the mountains to escape the heat. :) We
hear it has been hot in Alabama.
Today started with cooking breakfast
outside at our picnic table. We have always enjoyed a good hearty
breakfast cooked outside among the trees. It was such a nice way to start the day.
After cleanup we decided to ride bikes again. We rode back to the
Visitors Center. With our Senior Pass we had free entrance to the
exhibits and the movie about the park and Portage Valley (our current
location.) These were very well done and we spent quite a while there.
We also picked up some maps and the ranger answered some
questions we had about a hike we are considering and a paddle we are
considering. We are still a little concerned about the water
temperature in regards to the paddling. We then walked down to the
shore of Portage Lake and had a snack before riding back to Fred. In
the early afternoon we took Scout on a hike back out that way to a
nice lake we spotted on our morning ride. He played in the water and
we gave him a bath. We hiked a little further and then headed back
to the rig. This is just such a beautiful area.
Tonight for dinner we again cooked and
ate outside. Grilled pork chops -MMMM good. We also grilled some
additional smoked sausage to replenish our supply in the freezer.
No big impressive outing, no new
wildlife today and very few pictures but it was the kind of day we
really enjoy. Lots of exercise, in a beautiful setting, with things
Scout can also do. We think God everyday for the opportunity to be
in this place. Tomorrow we plan to visit a small United Methodist
Church in Girdwood – a few miles back toward Anchorage. We miss it
when we aren't able to attend church so we are looking forward to
worshiping in this new place.Hope you are having a great weekend.
