Not much going on today. I’ve been napping almost the entire day. Just moving from my bed to the living room chair and back again. Napping and snacking are my specialties. We didn’t see much of Warren and Kathy today, they have been hibernating and trying to get well. My Kathe spent the morning reading while Jim greased the slide outs and washing the windshield. After all this is a vacation.
After lunch they decided that they should get some exercise, and they walked down to the lodge where they met with Karen and Andy the owners. Kathe found that Karen had published a book about the Lodge and the history around the area. Karen sold her a copy of the book and told them more about the Roadhouses and their place in Alaskan history and the social life of the people back when there was a Roadhouse about every twenty miles on the highway.
Kathe really enjoyed reading Karen’s book this afternoon. Not only did Karen write about the history of the area but she included pictures and memorabilia that they collected as they restored the Lodge. The book covered information about the early settlers here in his area as well as how things changed after the CANAM highway was built. In the early days the Lodge was the gathering place to get your news and socialize with others in the community. Celebrations such as weddings, and even a prom were held here in the Lodge.
Jim and Kathe are going to dinner tonight at the Lodge for crab cakes. The cocktail there tonight is a flight of whiskey floats. Four kinds of ice cream and four different whiskeys. What?
