| On a drive home from Anchorage, we saw this double rainbow... |
 |
| ...and this sneak peak of Mt. Drum. |
The biggest thing that happened in July was that Flat Stanley came to visit us to learn about Alaska!

| Mt. Drum & fireweed |

We live very near the largest National Park, so we went to the visitor center...

| Flat Stanley learned all about fishwheels. |
 |
| He liked this cache that was near the fishwheel too. |
 |
Inside the Visitor's Center is this relief map of the park. Stan is pointing out Glennallen, our nearerst town.
As you can see, we are very close to the mountains! |
 |
| He also learned about our volcanoes! |

 |
| We were going to go on a nature walk, but I was wearing the wrong shoes... |
 |
| Plus, Flat Stanley was hungry! At least there was a sign warning not to eat the berries! |
 |
This sign was from 2016,, but we felt it would just be safer to head out.
Thank you Wrangell St. Elias National Park! |
 |
| Next stop was the Klutina River. A much better color than the Copper River. |
 |
| Later in the month we stopped at the Matanuska Glacier. |
 |
| Again, Stan learned a little something there... |
 |
| This is the view in the opposite direction from the glacier. Do you see the rainbow? |
There was a day when Flat Stanley stayed home and Jeff & I went to Valdez...
