Hi Tony, yes we are still in Alaska and loving it. We decided to stay til our son finished college. Unfortunately he ran into some health problems and to make a long story short is still in college. I am close enough to retirement now that we plan to stay a few more years. Hope you enjoy your walking and maybe can find a model kayak that is comfortable for you. I plan a couple short trips in July mainly to check out the sea otter migration into our area. Hopefully the weather will cooperate good hearing from you Bob On 6/10/2015 11:48 PM, Tony Ford wrote: > Hello Bob, > I note you are still in AK.
