I truly did enjoy the pics, especially of the bears which I have only seen one of in the wild. I am not counting the dozens of panda bears that Linda and I saw in China shortly before the earthquake a year ago. As for Cat's remembrances of our gold mining days in Dawson City I think she has it confused with our guest stint on the tv show Dawson Creek where we sashayed into the Pink Puddytat bar and ordered drinks for all the men in the bar, and that is all there were---men. She's right though, it is all a blur, and I prefer it that way. Will you be visiting any areas on Alaska's coast or is the plan to head back down/across Canada to the East Coast? True story---as opposed to the one's I usually tell---Linda's dad was in a military plane flying out of Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay when it went down in the swampy marshland of Canada north of the Great Lakes. They were down and out for almost 2 weeks before they were rescued, basically by accident. So, if you are in the area, give a salute to Jerome Scalise who, by all accounts, was the guy who kept the others alive. Looking forward to the next blog from God only knows where.

Sounds perfect for you, Pete. If I remember Dawson City correctly from my gold mining days, there's a pretty rough couple of hang-outs up there where you could find some trouble if you get bored. Remind me to tell you the story of the time me and old One Legged Lokedog passed through that town to do a little pan handlin'....it all started at run down dive called The Drunkin Goat, and from there, it's all a blur. Maybe Lokedog can fill you in from there...Cheers on your 49th. Looking forward to many more together.cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095686983864131588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436804428011356418.post-88290400262460263062009-06-06T18:19:40.753-07:002009-06-06T18:19:40.753-07:00Pete,
