Alaska #13 Palmer

On July 4th, I traveled from Valdez to Palmer, AK.  Before having a big 4th of July picnic, I went to an elk and reindeer farm and got up close and personal with the animals. I was able to feed them look them right in the eye.
After the picnic, cousins Jim and Pat went to the Palmer Elks Lodge and met some  nice people. The night before in Valdez, they went to the Elks Lodge and cousin Jim by chance ran into one of his former students from Los Alamos High (Lee Bauke) who had graduated in 1983.
After one night in Palmer, we moved on to Seward.
Warmest regards, Gus
