Will you be able to register and vote in the election? I certainly hope so! Keep enjoying yourselves.
Love and kisses, Selma

Alex and I are flying to Alberta on 9/13 for a week in Calgary, Banff and Edmonton. I took a trip with my grandmother 35 years ago from Calgary into the Canadian Rockies and back on our way to Vancouver to see my uncle. It was memorable! Your blog brings back memories of that trip and the magnificent scenery. I am very much looking forward to sharing the experience with my son.

In 1963 (I think), my parents took the family on a cross-county camping trip in our 1960 Ford Falcon station wagon. We camped at an Indian reservation in South Dakota, and at Glacier, Olympic, Crater Lake, Yellowstone, Teton and Devil’s Tower — many of the same places you have just been. We saw the Badlands and Mount Rushmore. Crazy Horse was a dream, a model, and a mountain of rock back then.

My sister and her husband are semi-retired and live in a “fifth wheel” house trailer that they tow to Arizona in the winter. On their way to and from Arizone they have visited Bryce and other parks on your itinerary. My sister has raved about them.

Your house in Alaska looks fantastic — though it reminds me a bit of pictures in the newspapers recently of the home of a certain Alaskan politician. Are you sure you know who you are renting from?

Enjoy the rest of your trip, and your stay in Alaska.

Now that I have finally caught up with your blog, I will try to follow it.

I am working from Marlene’s computer and submitted a comment, I think. I got an error message and could not get back to the comment screen to try to resend.

Let me know if you did not get a posting from immediately before this one, and I will write again.

Good luck on the rest of your trip!
