2010 May Trip to Alaska
We left Nanoose Bay Camp at project end at the end of April and headed to our June project with intent of taking holiday for the month of May. We ended up getting to Fairbanks in less than two(2) weeks and went to work at Camp LI-WA on May 12th.
We drove to the north end of Vancouver Island and boarded the ferry at Port Hardy headed to Prince Rupert in British Columbia, Canada. It was about a fifteen(15) hour ferry ride. We saved over 1200 miles by taking the ferry and considered it our Inland Passage cruise at minimal costs.
The ferry was quite large and very new. This ride was peaceful and pleasant, nothing like the one we were on to get to Vancouver Island.
On the ferry. Not a warm, balmy trip but, again, so peaceful.
The scenery is beautiful.
Scene as we traveled up the Cassier Highway.
The first glacier we saw as we made a side trip to Hyder, Alaska.
Stop where we had lunch as we left Stewart, BC. Ice was just coming out of the lakes.
Lots of WILD LIFE…
Yukon River where we stopped to take a lengthy hike along the river bank.
So much beatuiful scenery.
We spent one night at Burwash Landing. Delightful people and a relaxing and pleasant place to park for a night stay.
Two weeks of vacation travel through some God's Creation. We are truly blessed.
We ended up getting to Fairbanks in less than two(2) weeks and went to work at Camp LI-WA on May 12th, a little over 2 weeks before the project officially began.(More to come soon)
Thank you for your prayers and your encouragement in our ministery.
