Day 16

Today was a busy day for the Doran Expedition. Patte arrived in Anchorage this morning and was met at the airport by Jana and they hung out at the Saturday/Sunday Market in Anchorage for a while and Jana showed Patte some of highlights around the city. The earlier entry was supposed to have a picture with it, but Patte accidentally erased it from the phone--oops! She's not as techy as some of the family. But she did manage to get some pictures with her regular camera. She is apparently having some problems getting them posted here--bear with her.

Ken and Jeff traveled to Anchorage to rendezvous with Patte and so Jeff could catch his flight back to Seattle and then to Pasco. Ken was also planning to ship out some fish (yummy salmon and halibut) today, but after he got it all packaged and ready to go, found out they were closed today. Jeff was able to box his share up and take it home with him.

After locating the truck in the parking lot, Ken and Patte proceeded to try to find their way out of the parking lot--the GPS wasn't helpful for this! But, it didn't take long and they were on their way back to the "cabin." The drive back was uneventful, but the scenery was outstanding. Patte was a little disappointed that no moose were spotted, but there's always tomorrow....

They stopped to check out some fishing spots along the way and made plans for the next few days. Once back, Ken unpacked and put the fish back into the freezer, while Patte cooked dinner--fresh salmon--yummmmm.

Tomorrow it's off to Homer......
