The campground we stayed in for the last few days is in Palmer. Like many campgrounds in the area, it only provided 30 amps of electricity. That means only one air-conditioner, unless I wanted to run the microwave, hot rollers, blow dryer, or clothes dryer. Then only one appliance at a time. It was hot, only in the 80s but with no breeze and that very strong sun and the motorhome seems to trap heat. The only option was to wash clothes at night.
We drove into Anchorage to purchase a small freezer for all of the fish and crabs. Everything fits into the RV freezer but I worry about it not being quite cold enough (Norcold freezers are nicknamed Notsocold by some RVers). The freezer will sit in the middle of the RV for now. We moved all of the seafood into it and there's still lots of room for more.
Today we drove up Hatcher Pass. The road is steep and winding. About halfway to the Independence Mine at the top the clouds were so thick that we decided to turn around. We took photos of the river along the way. A motorcyclist stopped and talked cameras with Breland for quite some time. He is a pilot for FedEX and originally from Metairie. With all of the things we had in common we had a long and pleasant conversation.
Tomorrow we finally will get the steps repaired and then head to Denali for a few days. I do hope it is cooler.

Beautiful stream photos Gayle. You did a great job with the flowing water and the fireweed. (I'm marking by Google Earth with pins of your trip. You guys are really covering some ground. I assume you will hit Yellowstone and Teton in autumn?)
