Alaska Day 29

 

Don is now in LaPortage Manitoba….approx 1500 miles away…..looking forward to meeting a good friend. Thanks, Heather for letting your husband run off to my rescue. Doug would have gone with him but had a Dr appointment Monday.

My son commented on yesterday’s blog that it appeared to be cloudy all the time…….the clouds hang over the area and are like a mist rising from the mountains…..the sun does shine through them but throughout the day we get short showers as these clouds bump into the mountain tops.

Golden has an actual population of 4000 but services an area with a pop over 25000…..small outlying communities. As I mentioned yesterday it is a haven for sport enthusiasts year round.

  1. Hey Bob, how's the healing process going, you getting lots of bedrest time ? Sometimes Day 2 or 3 tend to be the worst and things
    start getting better thereafter.

    I guess under the circumstances you'll sure be glad to get home !

    Take Care

  6. Bob: You have good friends! They are priceless. A motorcycle can be replaced. True friends cannot. Glad to hear you were not badly injured, could have been a lot worse. Count your blessings!
    Take care!
