September 4
Headed over to the farmers market, it was cool with lots of produce and arts/crafts. There are a lot of cool weather veggies grown up here, huge cabbage and root crops. We bought a few things and Sheri found some jewelry she needed. Then we went to Creamer's Field to look at the Sandhill cranes, there were lots of them but nothing like the spring migration in central Nebraska. Found a fabric/quilt shop and Sheri got lost in there for at least an hour! We stopped at a little yarn shop and got some cool merino wool so Sheri can knit me a winter stocking cap, it is starting to get cold up this way. Stopped at the grocery store and stocked up on supplies. Bought a couple really nice ribeye steaks for the grill
had a nice dinner of steak, salad and butter/garlic potatoes. Neighbors came over and visited for a while, they were from Nevada MO. They moved to Alaska about 8 years ago and really liked it.

Pack it up and move 'em out, heading south today, oh so slowly. Kind of a sad thing, I have REALLY enjoyed Alaska. Gray and drizzly, no views of the Alaska range again, just like last time through here. Down through Delta to Tok and found an RV park that had showers and laundry facilities. Nice fire and Hormel Chili on hot dogs for dinner, look out toilets. Heading into Canada tomorrow, then back out to Haines Alaska, ferry to Skagway then back to Canada again.
