Greg -
The rain has continued throughout the day today.  Jack and I just left the pool and I was treated to a rain-drenched run along the ocean front.  Only about ten days to the race and my legs feel good.

Another highlight of our day is the completion of our laundry.   The slime from yesterday's fishing covered everything...coat, boots, shirt pants and I'm glad to get them back into a wearable state.   My truck, on the other hand, smells like a fish processing plant.  I managed to get about ten pounds of fish vacuum packed and into the freezer this morning.  It's a bit shocking to see how much is still to be done.  We'll be eating halibut for months to come.

The editors of Alaska and Milepost magazines named the Nemo Loop one of the top twenty-five places to camp in Alaska.    Several of the people we've met this summer told me that the view from the upper site is one of the most beautiful camping spots that they've ever seen.   I'd have to agree. 

The fiberglass bear is still sitting at our site.   I moved it so that it looks like it's peering into the window of our camper.   Even though it's baby blue and I know it's fake, I still am taken by surprise when I open the curtains or walk around the back of the camper.
