SUMMERTIME IN ALASKA

Tuesday marked the first day of summer.  Almost 20 hours of daylight in Anchorage, even more in Denali.  Unfortunately, the worm has already started to turn.  We'll lose daylight from now until December 23rd, the winter solstice.  Slowly at first, mere seconds, and then the loss starts to build momentum.  Its funny but after a few years living here, for me the daylight takes on a significance never appreciated in Texas.  Guess the best thing to do is enjoy it while its here.  So off we go this weekend to backpack the Fuller Lakes on the Kenai Peninsula.  Looks like this is my summer to see all the beauty of the Kenai.
