In Alaska, the summer days are long - they have sunlight up to around 24 hours a day. We were all surprised by the size and health of flowers and produce. The Alaskans said they embrace the growing season and also have green houses because their winters are long, cold and dark.

We have had some really cool experiences during the trip that have caused us to be extra grateful for God’s numerous and abundant blessings. On Saturday, we were in Jasper, on a side street, and I asked this lady where they got their ice cream. And then it hit me it was my niece Danelle and her husband Dustin his brother and wife Brock & Ashley. They used our kayaks, we hiked and had breakfast. This was such a special fun time!

We are headed home! But will take us a month. We will drive 37 hours to get to Prince Rupert. Yesterday, we crossed into Yukon, Alaska. Last night, we had super strong winds that shook the camper. You could hear the wind coming down a mountain pass, then a few minutes later it would hit.

Yesterday we took a bus into the Denali National Park (8 million acres) and did a day hike. There are no trails so we started on an easy social path and then hiking up and catching some amazing views. There were clouds around Mt Denali so we could not see it but the glaciers. It us so beautiful and massive here. The animal is a carabou.
