July in AK
Been pretty busy the last month or so, with a glorious 2-week stretch up at the cabin.
A few shots driving down to Kenai to help out a friend :
At the top of Turnagain Pass :
And at my friend's house, right in downtown Soldotna. It's for sale, highest offer... so far the bidding is up to $650k. The beauty to this property is that's the Kenai River, a world-class fishing destination and they have grandfather rights to a dock on the river - these days you'll get pistol whipped for building one.

Anyone know anything about old coins? This is supposedly a Spanish coin from the days of Armadas from South America.

Friends of my sister came up from New Jersey and I took them fishing... at a creek below the cabin. Nice little Rainbow.
Steve got his first Salmon a few minutes later here at Clear Creek.

And then one morning, I headed up to the cabin for a couple weeks!
Nice hot coffee, the fresh smell of the river, the roar of the 302... mornings just don't get any better.

Riverboat freighting - all the lumber needs to get hauled up ASAP. That's about 1800# in mine and 2000# in my son's boat.

That one is silver.
If you look at the worn-off date there on the bottom, it looks to me like 1610. That kind of artifact is fascinating to me.

Most definitely! So cool! I'd get them appraised. I thought silver, with the green. Hmmm, Spanish galleons...

Sharon is researching the coin, it's called "Pillars and Waves" and the date stamped is 713, meaning 1713 during the reign of Phillip V of Spain. The 'M' in the upper right corner means it was minted in Lima, Peru.
Kinda cool!
