Moonlight and Musings

A bunch of little stuff has happened here on the homestead, not enough to fill full posts, so: here’s some random news items, and photos of the moon!

A week ago Saturday, one of the Rainbow Glacier Adventures (RGA) guides who lives and works mostly in Skagway, came over to train with Aly for some specialty tours.

Whales cruised by close to the edge of the rocks, birds and sea lions swam around them. We decided to watch for a day like that one on which to record our next episode of A Place at the Table, the recorded round table discussion we offer to our higher tier patrons.
