One thing I have been looking forward to for a long time is this fall visit with Marie and Dave. They have been with us in the rainforest now for about a week, all of us happily smooshed into our one room apartment. I think we do well sharing meals, mornings and a small space. On Monday we walked out to one of our favorite neighborhood spots, Bird Point. It’s about 10 miles up the Seward Highway from Girdwood, and is a collection of marshes and little rocky islands that jutts out into Turnagain Arm. When the tide is out, one feels as if they could nearly cross the 10 miles of sandy bottom between Bird Point and Hope. Then the bore tide comes rushing in, and in a matter of minutes, that clear, easy path is completely obliterated. There is something very special about standing out in the middle of that space, just imagining the rush of salt water.
