High 70's. It was mid-50s in Seattle when we got home. A variety of landscapes - mountains, plains, etc. Not a lot of underbrush; birch trees and very straggly evergreen trees. Ponds with swan nests and beaver dams (and the occasional moose). I should post photos! Patrick Jerry,

Hot/cold? Forest/desert? I have an impression that it's still cold at that time of year. Alaska is the only US state I've never been to.

The long days of May are for outsdoors. Those meetings should be scheduled to encourage persons to attend. My Palmer Club needs to know the people and workings of Kiwanis. Patrick Ewing,
