This page begins with sunrise at our camp spot near Twelvemile Summit on May 28th at 3:00 AM. As the day progresses, we continue to a stop near Eagle Summit to search for more of the Alaska Blue Anemone (Anemone drummondii aka A. multiceps), which we found an abundance of. This was a new species for us, so please expect to see many photos of it. Then we jump to June 2 and what things looked like after a hail storm at home. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

We camped in our pickup topper at Twelvemile Summit on the night of May 27th and when we woke up to pee at 3:00 AM these first two shots show what the sky looked like to the north. WOW! On the 28th, after we cooked and ate breakfast, we continued towards Eagle Summit to a spot some friends had told us about that we might find more of the Alaska Blue Anemone. When we got there and started searching, we found a multitude of them. The first photo, shown here in third position, shows that we also found rather pinkish specimens of it, in addition to the blue colored specimens.
