THIS WEEK IN EAGLE, ALASKA

We are really having fun. Our camper is set up in the BLM Campground just over a mile from "downtown". We have running water like most of the rest of the area by "running to the wellhouse" and "running it home". It is quiet, beautiful, and feeling really home-like. We spend late morning and early afternoon at the historical society and the book signings have exhausted the supply of "Jessie" copies in town. (All of their 200 is gone, as is Betty's supply!)

Both of us have ridden ATVs and admired the local arts and crafts, we ate in the local cafe, and have been to a wedding, community potlucks, done all the tours through the seven state museums here, driven all around town and the area, been to the Potlatch given for Betty by the local Han Indian Community in thanks for her giving the early historical pictures to them, I've drifted the Yukon River by Canoe, we have held readings and parties/receptions, and photographed all the cabins, outhouses, and opthe scenic wonders of Eagle..... All in a single week. It is Awesome.

Working in the 1900 Wickershan Courthouse greeting tourists on the Holland American trips has been a blast.

We are well and happy and might head home in a day or two.

No telling when we can e-mail or blog again. Caio from Eagle.
