July 20th, from Anne:
GOOD MORN'N SUNSHINE ! NOT!!! Damp to wet to rain is what we woke to and kept all-through the day (as long as you have sunshine in your soul-you'll be ok)-and that's what we got! We are sunny travelers! I also awoke to the fact that i'm to damn short to even see myself in the motel mirror to put make-up on-or brush my teeth-but hey-Iknow where everything is..... Began with meeting our neighbors in the motel-they are looking for GOLD in them there hills-geologists making neat little packages of dirt to send of to the laboratories. Next came the old crusty miners in the Cowboy Bar. some cowboys etc.. yes we are taking to Canada and Canada to us. Finding it a bit expensive but we need not much. Followed along a windy, sleepy river, a fly fisherman or two, often choked with lilies and cat-tails. Clouds reflected in the many lakes-countryside mainly rolling hills. 450 miles today put us at the DOWNTOWN MOTEL tonight in PRINCE GEORGE. The rain is keeping us from camping. We figure on making ANCHORAGE on about JULY 27. Sleep tight my friends, love Annie
