URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

Girdwood, Alaska - about 40 miles ESE of Anchorage, on the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. Fantastic skiing and home of the Alyeska Resort.
Beautiful place and some interesting history. Only North American ski resort with both mountain and ocean views. I visited briefly on a business trip years ago.
Terry, there would be some Alaskans who would argue that the Turnagain Arm is a long way from the Pacific, but I always remind them that the water is all connected. Pacific Ocean water is Pacific Ocean. Cool stuff, and thank you.
Sandy, that's salt water. Salmon are abundant, in season, along with many other species. Just watch out for the Beluga & Minck whales, and the orcas (all in summer, of course).

Rev. Paul,
Great place to fish I bet.
