Well, I'll bet you are expecting to see Norman and me with some beautiful fish - halibut and salmon. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate; our fishing expedition was cancelled because of wind and rain and an unusually high tide.

 

In some places, it was even hard to see where the water ended and the land at the horizon began -

But the hazy morning made it possible to take a photo of the sun in the morning sky. This shows the height of the sun at 7:00AM -

When we got back to Soldatna, we found this group of trails and hiked a few miles. The trails are used for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter.

If you've been following this blog from the beginning, you may remember my collection of hiking boots and the question of which ones would come with us to Alaska. The oldest ones won.

These trusty old boots won't be making the trip back to Houston. After today's hike, they are retired, leaving their soles in Alaska.
