Here are a couple of temperature graphs for the caravan coming to Alaska soon. We have been in the normal range recently. By the time you get here it may be 50 degrees at night which is kind of cool in a tent. May was very nice and we set some new records. Alaskans like global warming.Heidi is wearing my t-neck polyester shirt. This is a good under-layer shirt for Alaska's cold and sometime wet weather. It keeps you warm even when it is wet if you wear it next to your skin. Cotton on the other hand would give you hypothermia.

Peter's graduation party is on Saturday. We've been working like crazy getting the house in shape for that. Once the party is over I'll be able to turn my attention to the Alaska trip. None to soon since we leave a week later. So, Mark we'll be in touch Sunday or Monday giving you more details.
...and I tried to reserve a campsite in the Seward area, but of about 6 that I tried, either they don't take reservations or they are too far away or the reservation company didn't find the campground in their database.
One or more campgrounds say they may fill up by late afternoon or evening in July.
There is a walk-in tent campground in the Kenai Fjords Nat'l Park that might work...
There are a few campgrounds on Kenai Lake, and some down the road to Exit Glacier and maybe one at Exit glacier. Seward goes nuts on the 4th and everyone camps somewhere? Seward is known for being windy. The campgrounds in Alaska are usually very poor compared to Minnesota. Often more rustic and not always kept up. Probably because there are mostly 'Road Barns' on the road.
It is about 2 1/2 hours to Seward 120? miles from our house. I've thought of renting a big van from the Baptist church down the road for a trip like this maybe.
