Lessa and I took a day trip to A-town Friday – she is looking for a dres to wear to her bff’s wedding in October and I wanted to meet an online (ravelry.com) friend. It “just so happened” that we both had days off together and could make it a fun trip.
Lessa and I ALWAYS have fun together . . . . warning – this post will be heavily laden with pics. We were asked how long of a drive it was from Kenai to A-town. The answer? The way WE drive? Abour 4 hours – we stop along the way to take pictures of whatever fancies us.
Yesterday was perfect! Kenai Lake was gorgous – some fog, which adds to the pictures – and flat, which aids in reflectability.
above pics were taken at the pullout in Cooper Landing. Following pics were taken at a beach camping area.
Glorious day! One lone duck swimming very quickly across the water. And, just look at all those golden leaved trees! It’s true – fall is upon us.
After Cooper Landing we were content to take in the sights with just our eyes, not so much with the camera. However, as we drove along Turnagain Arm we caught up with an Alaska Railroad train heading towards Anchorage also. I rolled down my window and took pictures as we passed the train – then we pulled into a pull-out spot and caught the train from the front. Why, yes, I do live in Alaska – and I do make my own fun.

The following are from a pull-out further up the road – this time the train is coming toward us.
and, the end . . .
