Air Force Day
We have left the Kenai. But the very last thing we did, late last night was to find one of my long sought birds, a Spruce Grouse. Not only did I see one, but before we left that area, 10 Spruce Grouse were seen. Yay. On the way back to Anchorage we stopped at Portage Glacier to once again hike the Byron Glacier trail. The snow there was nearly gone in the two weeks between visits. On to town with lots to do. We first got visitor passes to the Elmendorf - Richardson Base in north Anchorage and after secured two camping spots on the huge base. Then back to town to pick up Tom’s RV for the week and an orientation to its operation. Nice rig. Then loads of laundry - see very exciting day! We did stop for a nice cone at Wild Scoops. Rhubarb Crumble was tasty.

I think I am now in a secure facility with guards and gates and scary stuff. I did not know that being a candidate for President of US would be so intense. But I guess they recognize my value. So instead of selecting some of my staff I had to do security things. I did promote BdB and am pleased to announce that BdB is now to be known as BrrICE - a clearly intimidating name for my new head of personal security. He is somewhere training with these soldiers. Oh, and all of these armed forces people get super neat hats. I wonder if I get a hat as president? I bet I do and it must be the most amazing hat of all.
