Greg -
Our trip to Anan was cancelled early this morning. It was raining when we awoke and the ceiling was under 500 feet. The Anan Manager, Dee, told me that we'd try again tomorrow morning. The following link is an interesting video taken last year at Anan of a woman trapped in an outhouse. Please let me know if this doesn't work - I'm new to the blogging business.

We had a relaxing morning off. I'm currently reading "The Barefoot Bandit - The True Story of Colton Harris-Moore". It's the story of the kid from the Pacific Northwest who broke into hundreds of homes, stole over fifty cars, scores of boats, and a dozen or so airplanes, all before the tender age of twenty. It's an incredible story about a kid with a tortured upbringing and his incredible run from the law. I remembered hearing about this kid but never knew much about his story. I'll give it 4.5 stars on the Jack Carver film rating scale of five stars.
Once we finally pulled ourselves from the camper, we stopped by the bunkhouse and threw two large loads of laundry in before heading to the pool. I warmed up on the treadmill and then ran from the pool to Shoemaker Bay and back (stopping back at the bunkhouse to move the clothes to the dryer) while Jack swam. We spent about a half an hour in the gym afterward.
We had lunch at one of three food stands run by area high school girls, each competing in the 4th of July Queen competition held annually in Wrangell. The winner receives a hefty scholarship funded by local merchants and the proceeds earned from raffels, lunches, and bake sales that they hold throughout the month of June.
We're at the library now. It's such a relief to have speedy internet. I've spent hours trying to get pictures to load from our site without any success. It must be the weather.....or sunspots.

The video works fine. Anan looks amazing. If I ever get there I will remember I will hold it!
