We had a great week long visit to Juneau, and enjoyed seeing lots of friends and the sights at our old home. Neil was able to go fishing for two days and had a good time on the water, but no fish. The most exciting part of fishing was trolling in three hundred feet of water and having the depth alarm go off at nineteen feet! A humpback whale was coming up under the boat and popped up about thirty yards away from us. Many thanks to Sam for taking Neil out on his boat on Friday and Saturday!

| Fast Ferry Fairweather Docking in Sitka, Alaska |
Pamela had a good trip to Sitka on the fast ferry Fairweather with her Creative Memories team, and overnighted there so had a chance to visit some of her favorite places in Sitka. She spent some time at the Sitka National Historic Park and saw bears on beach on the way back to Juneau.
Our friend Dave loaned us his spare Ford "Exploder" for the week and we burned over a tank of gas traveling around Juneau. We had lunch at the Hanger on the Wharf, saw the Avengers movie, and had some good visits with friends and co-workers. Many thanks to Jim and Judy for putting us up and Dave for the loan of the car while we were there. The movie was a good one--two thumbs up.
At the Oregon end, Pamela's cousin Gordon took us to to the airport and picked us up on Wednesday night. Today, we packed for our weekend RV trip to Packwood, Washington with the Finney family and friends. We are in Molalla tonight staying in our Fiver, and we leave tomorrow morning with Seth and Cathy Finney for the drive up to Packwood.

The weather is supposed to be getting better for the weekend, so we are looking forward to the holiday weekend. We will return to Molalla on Monday and will then continue our unpacking and work on the house and garden at our new home at Warwick. We still have lots of work to do inside and the garden needs attention as well. We hope that we have some sunny but not too hot weather in June.
