North! To Alaska!

Hello from Grinnell Iowa, the heartland of America.  The scent of Cow shit and fertilizer wafts through my nostrils. Aaaaah Freedom!
Been a while...Last we spoke I was leaving my bike with my old college friend from Alfred, Eric, in Evergreen CO, just outside Denver.   After a night of reconnecting and partying I was off to Sitka AK to see Dad.

First night had a nice sunset.


The Bay outside the cabin



Cooking is a serious business up here.  Every night a different meal production.  Steak night with beer battered onions, roasted potatoes.


A little Conga drums with my cousin Jürgen who flew in from Germany to help with work on the cabin


Chillin' on the deck...


Crab Night...




We (Jürgen) caught a Salmon..


Two chefs debating the best course of action


This is the salmon heart.  See how fresh?  Also some eggs.  Don't watch if you're squeamish!





Totem Pole in Sitka.  Lots of old Tlingit Totem Poles in the Park



Boating through town.  Sherry likes that boat..



More tomorrow..
