We motored up to Gridwood this morning and drove through the Swan fire area, seeing fire crews staging to continue their gruelling work (now over four weeks). This fire, one 0f 118 now burning in Alaska, is still only 14 percent contained. Because they are spread so thin, there are only 485 firefighters working the Swan fire.
Girdwood is an old mining camp that is now a skiing location 45 miles South of Anchorage. We rode the tram up
Mt Alyeska and had lunch at the 5 Chairs Restaurant.
Karen stopped to admire the Fireweed and Cow Parsnip.
Fishing is starting to pick up a bit so we might try for Sockeye or Kings tomorrow. The Kenai is running so deep that wading is now very difficult!
