The First Few Days

     Luckily for us, there was nobody in the Chalets. We had time to get parked and get set up along with checking out the Chalets and seeing what was new and what had changed. Because winter is so slow in leaving, Trail Lake across the street is still frozen! Things are still brown and dormant. We got settled in and immediately began helping to finish the exterior of the new Chalet, named Eagles Aerie. We also got ready for our own first guests of the season--our traveling companions Brenda and Geoff are coming up to stay with us for a week. We were afraid that if we were delayed much longer on this trip that they would be welcoming us to Moose Pass!

     As you can see, after they got here, there was still a lot of snow in and around the area. In fact, some of the hikes and sights that we planned on showing them were still snowed in. But there was still enough to do that we think they got a good taste of the Kenai Peninsula area and what it has to offer.

     So the first couple of weeks we got into our routine and had some time to explore the area with our friends. The weather finally began to warm up and, as you can see in the photo above, the leaves began to pop out on the trees. Spring finally arrived!!
