We left the gloriously beautiful Healy (retirement possibility, Larry?) a little late due to the great conversation. I had to put my foot down and boost Ralph out of there. We ventured forth to Clear Sky Lodge at Clear where we strategically parked the motorhome again. After a couple hours of talk, talk, talk we turned the motorhome northward again to Nenana. We rested in the motorhome at Nenana for the remainder of the afternoon. Ralph went walking around the town and visited with a famous former Alaskan politician who lives here.
Right now I'm sitting in a very cute little restaurant called Rough Woods Inn. There are quite a few people here, sitting around enjoying the sandwich fixins, asking questions, listening to Ralph. It's a very relaxed atmostphere. It's been interesting to note the issues that keep coming up over and over again, and not necessarily those that affect the general national consciousness right now. These are people who are very independent, they read, and they think. I love Alaskans!
Off to Fairbanks this evening. We'll be there till Sunday or Monday.
