Still surviving the skeeters

Yep, we are still surviving the skeeters, but barely. Some days they almost get the best of us, but so far we have prevailed!
I just returned yesterday from Minneapolis. I went for 2 days for my grandaughter Shayne's graduation party. She graduated from highschool and will start at U of Minn/ Mankato in Aug. She is sooo excited and so anxious to get away from home. She has a new fella and his name is Shane.....the Shayne and Shane show! How funny. Barry had to run the park for 2 days by himself as I went to Anchorage with our bosses, the lady had to go to the Dr. So Barry was King of the Campground! He did great.
We have had lots of international travelers in the park lately. Always have some but seems like more than usual. Last night we had a woman and 3 men from Holland that were very friendly and fun. We had helped them get a site in Valdez, so they brought us a bottle of wine for our kindness. We visited and wined with them for a while. One of the men is 65 and has smoked 3 packs a day since he was 13! Looks and acts in very good health. Maybe Swiss cigs aren't as bad for you as ours! They all spoke good English so we enjoyed them very much. Then there were 2 young Swiss men and their father in one of our tent sites. One of them came to our site and visited for a couple of hours. Learned a lot about his country and enjoyed him very much as well. It is so nice that many of the Europeans speak English.
Still haven't caught any salmon yet, but we are still working on it. We have been working more than we really want to, but with the boss lady so sick, we feel we have to help when we can. We plan to go out with a guide and get a king, not on a fly rod of course, but at least we can get one. The sockeyes are running now and we have had some of those on, but have failed to land them. We will though!
Our weather has been very nice lately. Yesterday was cloudy and cool, (50s) but most days it is in the 70s and in high 40s at night. Great sleeping weather.
There is a parade in Glennallen tomorrow. Bet that will be fun. Few people here, but they seem to have a pretty good time! Well, 'til next time...
