We might be interested in joining you to visit the leftmost states, But
Alaska might be too ambitious for us. Besides it could get cold up
there. We don't do cold.

Alaska is OK in the summer. It might actually be two hot for you in
Fairbanks now, close to 100 in the day. Down in the Kenai it is more
moderate, high 60s and 70s.
We really liked the Kenai, particularly the west side. Seward is a big
tourist trap because that is where the cruise ships dock. They have
wheel chair accessible glacier tours and stuff. When you get over on
the other side in Homer, you can find hikes that you need to take a
water taxi to and you might not see another person all day.

Stop in the Salty Dawg for a beer when you get back.

Thanks for the tips. Wherever we end up going has to have a campground. I'd like to be able to
unhook the trailer and go sightseeing. That glacier reminded me of the Mendenhall glacier, but the
hills were much steeper.
