The brain/body clock is deceived when its 10:30 pm and still very light out!
We were met by Cheri who escorted us to our home for this visit--a charming Alaskan cabin! Cozy, comfy, full of quilts and complete with a featherweight for my use while here.
We were fast asleep and comfy warm--awakened slowly as morning took over and our desire to explore our new surroundings kicked us in to gear.
A short walk to the river brought us face to face with the raw beauty of the Kenai river as it rolled swiftly down its course--
It's going to be an awesome day--and a memorable adventure here in Alaska-The Last Frontier!
I have a silly question :-/ Why is the house you posted up so high? Is it because the river might flood? Just curious... the area is beautiful! Have a wonderful time!
