Heading into the wild

Back by popular demand... Morgan's travel blog. Those who know me well, know that since I'm too old to go to summer camp... I spend each summer somewhere new and exciting. This time it is about heading north to Alaska! Our good friends Maggie and Eric relocated up here last fall and I was just waiting for the snow to melt to check out this beautiful place they now call home.

After only about 24 hrs on the ground we've already had wild salmon to two meals (leftover goes great in a scramble), watched the sunset while taking a midnight hike and biked 20 miles along the coastal trail. This week Maggie is working by day and Eric by night... so he has plenty of time to cruise this beautiful green city and check out the local breweries with me (and Tanner too).

Anchorage is more than just a jumping off point for all these major cruise lines. The wild green jungle full of hiking trails right off their back porch and fabulous native hospital they both work at make this new city in their lives a pretty sweet place to call home.

Last night Kerry, Rubin and Cheryl arrived to join the party! After a delish breakfast breakfast we are packing up the sporty red car that is ours that is next two weeks and heading north to Denali! I think a twilight river rafting trip is in our near future. Pictures and more details to come soon....
