Anchorage Botanical Gardens, Alyeska Tram, Gold Panning, Blue Angels - July 2016

There is much to see while staying in Anchorage.  Here are a few of our ventures before traveling to Soldotna to our last Alaska SOWER project before heading back down to the lower 48.




On the way to the Alyeska Tram.
Flowers in Alaska in the summer
are stunning.  They need no
fertilizer.




After we got to the top of the tram.
What a ride!



Looking back on the resort down below.



A ski lift, not the tram!



At the top!




Alison, Roy Anderson and me!




Close up!



Me and Wayne.
We had just gotten word that
the insurance company totaled 
out our RV.  Now the shopping
begins.



You can see the tram in the
lower right quadrant.



Alison giving gold panning a try.
She did not go home rich!




The Botanical Gardens.
Pics speak for themselves.














While we stayed in a RV park in Anchorage, 
the Blue Angels gave a 3 day show at the
Air Force Base.
What a treat, right over our heads
everyday.




Wayne and Gail's picture under a
bridge, we are truly homeless now!




Combat Fishing in Alaska.
That's how they do it, side by side,
hooking them as they swim by.  They must
be hooked in the mouth or they have
to throw them back!  Salmon of course!
