June 13-14
The third installment of the trip log of 'The Drive from Texas to Alaska and Back' .
Notice of Timeout: They Olympics is on and I am a huge fan. I haven't had a chance to organize any text and photos. Way too much TV.
As mentioned previously, this log does not contain too much commentary. It is mainly sequential locations, dates, mileage traveled, photographs showing the trip progress, and how the landscape changed. The Alaska Trip Log is divided into two week intervals (parts) and I am posting it on consecutive Sundays. Past and future posts of Alaska Sunday (apart from the trip log) will have more detailed information, and more photos of each specific area. A small number of the photographs were previously posted when describing specific locations. Most are new photos not previously seen.
So, just a quick post today to get back to the US, and to let you know that I am still alive.

Beautiful Ferry Ride through the San Juan Islands (in the rain) and then on to our camp site in Bellingham, WA.

I was up late watching Michael Phelps win the 8th Gold and I think the kid who flew through that last lap deserves more than a medal ...
And now I am reading your blog, enjoying your adventures as I sip my morning coffee and try to wake up!

Small comment:Beautiful waterfall, and I could spy that tiny light(beacon?) on the island.
Enjoy the rest of your Olympics watching!
I hope your June 14 birthday was wonderful!
As for the Olypics... today marks my 8th week of blogging, but I've been reading longer. I have noticed that the past week there have been less posts, less comments and less visits. I never watch television, but have been sucked into the Olympics this year and have stayed up to unbelievably ridiculous hours watching the excitement. I theorized all the "less" blogging had to do with the Olympics, and it looks like I might me right. Enjoy it, it's only every 4 years. (Unless you get into the winter stuff, too, which who doesn't?)
Oly.. what? I know, I know. Just not a fan anymore. :)
The more I enjoy your trip!
Cheers, Klaus
Troy: I love your bubbling water capture. That photo came out special.
Man that looks like a wonderful and fun trip. Thanks for sharing.
Loved both of the photos immensely!
Lovin' the Olympics as well. Summer Olympics have always been my favorite! I'm finding it difficult as well to blog and watch the Olympics!
Mountain Retreat
