Soldotna, AK

We did a little sightseeing in Soldotna today. We went to a chain saw carving display. They had a merry-go-round done with chain saw carvings. I most like Grant in the giant rocking chair. Next we went to the visitor’s center where they have a public walkway for salmon fishing. We watched the fishermen try their luck for awhile. We stopped at a coffee roasting shop where Grant got ¼ pound of Bolivian coffee to try for free. He is anxious to go back and try some more. We also went to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and walked on a couple of their trails.

We returned for the orientation meeting with the other couples and got the details of what we can expect this week. They have a Chuck Wagon Camp here for Junior High kids. There are big canvas covered wagons that have bunks in them for 8 kids + 2 counselors per wagon. There are 4 wagons. Near the wagons there are a number of old town style buildings including a “hotel”. Grant is to work on the electrical, insulation, sheet rock and spackling for that building. I will work in the office on a huge mailing.
