* My dissapointments so far: Not the abundant fishing I expected and my lack of focus to most photographs. * The RV is becoming more and more beat up. Broken Microwave plate, lost pot of coffee, lost my shoe after door swung open, bottle of dish soap and eggs after frig door opened. * Dave is funny. He looks off to the left scanning for game more than he looks at the road. He's been handling the "Beast" pretty well so far. I think he enjoys being "Captain"
1:35 stopped at Mt. Elias (two volcanoes) Blaze cooked lunch in parkin lot. Sausages and toast. Smells delicious....yup! delicious. * I'm still awed at every nook and cranny, every turn reveals something completely differnt and equally beautiful. This is not an exaggeration. One could spend a lifetime here and never have the problem of redundancy. * Ohh yeah, picked and ate wild blueberries and cranberries this morning.
2:42pm Just got back on the road after a quick stop at "Knife Man's". This place was quintacential Alaska! Big burly man with a long white beard ( not much unlike Santa Claus) and Mrs not much different than Mrs Claus. The outside was cluttered with moose and caribou antlers and large wood carvings of bears. Inside was a treasure trove of everything Alaska. Old and dusty elk head, brown bear fur, badger, mink, coyoite furs as well. Sweet walking sticks, a small wood stove in the corner, a large piece of whale something?? that had a scene of Eskimos with a dog team chasing a polar bear etched into it. The very few knives that he had in the center of the room on a small table were absolutely beautiful, but way out of our league. Dave did find an awesome pocket knife with a moose etched into it and blaze bought earings for his mom.
