Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.

Below is a list of recent posts.

South Mitkof Island

Sun 15-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 2 comments

The adage “Rain before seven, clear by eleven” was appropriate for today. We ended up with a beautiful day in which we scouted out a new beachside campsite (Wilson Creek Area Campground), hiked a...

Petersburg II

Sat 14-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

A very rainy day so we went into town to do our two weeks of wash, see the museum, and use the Wi-Fi at the library.  We also visited the two hardware stores in town to see if they had replacement chairs...

LeConte Glacier

Fri 13-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

In the morning we took a short walk at Blind River Rapids followed by a nice lunch at Coastal Cold Storage, but the big event of the day was a trip by boat to the LeConte Glacier Fjord. We had contacted Scott...

Mitkof Island

Thu 12-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

The sun in our eyes woke us at 4:45. Nice to have sun, but it seemed a little early. At low tide we walked out to the little island across from our camp. All the rocks and shells left at low tide are covered...

Petersburg I

Wed 11-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

Wrangell to Petersburg

Tue 10-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

Nemo Point

Again we woke in Wrangell to rain and misty low clouds. But as the day wore on, we began to notice a pattern of more time between the rain showers and less rain with each shower. We headed to a beach on the...

Wrangell

Sun 8-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

As promised, it was really rainy and cold. We managed a walk on the town dock during one clear moment and met an interesting gentleman who lives on his boat there all year round. He likes Alaska best after...

Ketchikan to Wrangell

Sat 7-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

Today was one of Ketchikan’s rainy days – a heavy fine rain all day. The locals were hoping for more. The beautiful days we had been experiencing meant that many of those living outside the city...

Fri 6-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel | 0 comments

Today was another sunny day so we decided it was a hiking day. We considered all of the options and decided to hike the Perseverance Lake Trail. It had the advantages that it had only 500 feet of elevation...
