“A .5-mile paved loop takes you atop rocky outcroppings that overlook the valley floor far below and give you prime views of the jagged peaks opposite you. It’s one of those dramatic pictuesque scenes you come to love from the North Cascades.”
I’ve been on that winding road and what I remember quite vividly is there are no guard rails but yes, the view is spectacular.

Searched my archives for my sister’s and my visit to Alaska in 2016. Our 8 hour train ride from Anchorage to Denali. And back! I converted a few of the photos to sepia tones which is new for me. Perhaps I should have read up on how to do it more effectively but I had fun trying. Thanks Cee.

Sometimes you purchase the souvenir yourself, and sometimes a souvenir is brought to you as a gift from a traveling friend.

Postcard from London from my sister Mary. I found it on my fridge today.
Trollstigen (Troll’s Road) in Norway. If you click the link you can see pictures of the winding Troll’s Road.
One year ago I was on the Arne and Carlos‘ Knitting Cruise going up the coast of Norway on MS Finnmarken. Thanks to Pam from Massachusetts, my knitting colleague and ship roommate for sending this pic today. Yes that was a wonderful trip of a lifetime and there are many great memories.
I was so happy to receive an email today with this photo of myself that Pam took by the Troll Crossing sign. I was able to go and find the one I took of her, too.
Our tour bus was to drive up the winding roads but due to bad weather, the Troll Road was closed. (After looking at the photos of the road I think I am a bit relieved it was closed)
Thanks again for the fun memory, Pam. I’m glad you follow the blog. Hope you like this post!

Lacrosse game in Berlin. Berlin, Ohio!
Not to be mistaken for Berlin, Germany.
Waiting for Jack’s game to start.
The morning drive out to Ohio was gray skies and rain so it was good to have sun and blue skies in the late afternoon.
