LONG HIKE AND OLD SLIDES 3

I had to go to the doctors office early this morning for them to draw blood for my up coming physical so did not get to do my morning walk.  After feeding when I got back, I took Zephyrus for a long hike to the east of us to Scott's point.  There is still quite a bit of snow up there, but you can walk on top of it if it is still frozen - which it was.  So Zeph and I had a nice hike but did not see wildlife or fresh tracks.  Well, maybe deer tracks. 

Looking south down the valley.

Zeph on Scott's point.

An old tree stump years ago in the Prince William Sound with ornaments Kevin, Pam, and Connie decorating it.

Working on a suntan with a down coat, sweatshirt, and turtle neck on the Pigot Bay cabin deck.

Connie is always setting the fashion statement in the out of doors society.

Connie and Tom going for a little flight around the Anchorage area in the helo that Tom trained pilots in.  This was Connie's first ride in a helicopter.

Me, Connie, Marcia, and Tom in the Prince William Sound the fall of 81.  Tom's Zodiak is just to the left out of the picture.  We really used those Zodiaks a lot up there. 

Doing a little preflight inspection of the tail rotor.  The slide is actually backwards as the tail rotor is always on the other side.  The one of the helo above is also backwards.  Will have to redo them.

MORE OLD PHOTOS

We are still having a lot of laughs going through some old slides and converting them to digital pictures.  Yes, we were a lot younger then and our hair was a lot darker.

If you look close, you will see why we called Ryan the "slobber" dog!!!!  It just ran out of his mouth!

With Connie's parents Peggy and Wendell when they visited us in Eagle River, AK.

Connie and Ryan getting up in the morning along the ocean shore.

Frosty hair - and she had a lot of it.

Snow shoeing up into hatcher pass with Tom Williams and his dog Moose, then skiing back down.

The northern lights were always a treat.

More frosty hair.

Cross country skiing on the famous Iditarod Trail.

Connie and Ryan on Ekultna Lake I think.

These two were buds.

Connie riding on a dog sled pulled by Moose with Tom and Marcia's baby Jennifer in the sled.  Ryan just running a muck.

Me hiking in Denali National Park I think.  And check out the dark hair of a 30 year old.
