Johnson Family Campground
It’s beautiful and warm with a breeze to keep it from being
too hot. Some of the cousins
showed up at noon to get the pavilion ready for the doo dah tomorrow. I went
down and hung around for a while, but there was a glitch with the arrival of
the food. I went to the little
store and got ice then came back and was promptly attacked by a nap.
After a wonderful shower (6 minutes is longer than you
think), and quality time with the washer and dryer, I went to the café where
had a visit with Hugo Johnson, the owner of the park and café. He was friends with Daddy, and he’d
worked at Prudhoe Bay back in the day.
He bought my breakfast and then came by my campsite with some photos a
little bit later on. One was of
Daddy on a boat and the other was an earlier one of Daddy butchering king crab
in a snow bank. I will scan them and make copies for us.

The gals just drove by; they are all done unpacking and
getting ready, and the festivities start tomorrow. They’ll be here around 8:00 so I’ll go down then and see if
I can be of any use to anyone.
I’m still in a quandary about whether to leave Sunday or
Monday. I’ll wait until Beth gets here and find out what she’s going to do.
Yesterday I stopped at the Smashed-in-Head Buffalo
Jump.
