The 5th of July we did housekeeping chores like 5 loads of laundry, buying fishing licenses, visiting the visitors center, and riding bikes. I think that day we did almost 10 miles on the bikes. The 6th of July we did 8.75 miles on the bikes. OK, so I know that MOST people have bike wrecks WHILE the bike is moving. I, however, find it's much easier on the frame to do it standing still, trying to spin the pedal around for a quick takeoff. Wham, next thing I know I'm lying crosswise over the bike and well you know the rest. Lady camped near us came over when we pedaled back to camp to see if I was alright. I'm sure she was getting ready to feel guilty for laughing if I really had been hurt.
Today we drove to Chicken, AK. Yes, you heard that right and we've pictures to prove it. The drive is via the Taylor highway also known as the Top of the World Highway. It is an awesome drive. Large burn went though there several years ago and although there are reminders of the burn with standing dead trees the vegetation is growing back. Drat, we didn't see a bear one.
We're headed to Valdez tomorrow, probably take two days to get there. We've heard that the salmon run is on and although the first of it was a dissapointment they are thinking it's due to get better soon. I think Maggie has had a small stroke. The 3rd of July in Border City we had a big thunder and lightening storm and she got very scared, poor heart just a racing. Next morning her gait was staggery and she was uncertain in her movement; still is but maybe some better. She sleeps more and is more docile. Her appetite is good, but her stamina is poor.
