Jul 7 –On Sunday, July 4th we attended the Hoka Hey motorcycle celebration for those who finished the race; see photo. Maggie, Val and I met Terry as he crossed the finish line. He rode over 9100 miles in 9 days following a route from Key West Florida to Homer Alaska. What a trip! The organizers were supposed to let everyone know who won at the celebration but they didn’t. They said they would announce it at Sturgis. It was a huge let down for everyone there. How would you like to pour your heart and soul into a race and then not know who won for over a month. Bummer!
Yesterday, July 6th, we were in Seward and took a cruise to see whales and stuff. Wow, did we see a lot. We saw all kinds of sea birds, sea lions; hump back whales, killer whales, porpoises and glaciers. I included a photo of the biggest active glacier we saw. It was really cool: pardon the pun. Afterwards we drove to Anchorage.
Today we went to Lowes and bought supplies to build a bug/rock screen for the front of the motorhome (see photo). We got several chips in our paint as well as three stars on the driver’s side of the windshield. Now maybe we can avoid more damage. It works great. We drove to Tok this afternoon and man is it full of bugs. Easier to get off the screen than the grill.
Tomorrow morning we’ll be entering Canada again so that means no cell phone and no internet. Those of you that have become our groupies; following our every move, will have to wait a few days until we get back to the lower 48 before our next update. Talk to you later.
