Sam And Saundra's Year Long Adventure - Part 147


Sam And Saundra’s Year Long Adventure – Part 147
Alaska
7/12/09 - Surprise Trip

You would think that at this point we would go fishing, check out the area for touristy activities or something of that nature.  Not today.  As we get ready to leave the trailer for a sightseeing drive over Hatcher Pass, I discover that I cannot find my purse.  Oh yeah!  My purse.  The one that carries our passports AND my fishing license. That purse.  The one that I left in the trailer when we went across national borders.  That purse.


Great Parking Lot

We decide a nice, peaceful drive back to Glennallen to retrieve it from the restaurant we went to with Sourdough Joe would be a good idea.  So off we go.  Sam is not being overly talkative to begin with.  After about an hour, he got bored with whatever thoughts he was having, and the trip went much faster. Since it was Sunday, we saved some time because they were not working on the road (the 45 minute delay kind).  My purse had been picked up by the restaurant staff and placed in a safe place.  All was in order.  We like Glennallen. We drive back towards Rolly Lake happy with purse in hand. We stop and take pictures of Matanuska Glacier, several mountains, lakes, and rivers. We stop at Walmart in Wasilla, then on to the trailer.  It is so late in the day that it was actually twilight out and we see several porcupines and one pup of a coyote or wolf or ?. Took us all of this day.  One more smile Sam? Thank You.
