(16) Adventure to King Cove, Alaska




On August 9th I headed off to King Cove. The trip was beautiful with views of numerous mountains including volcanoes. You can check out Alaskan volcanoes at this very informative site:http://www.avo.alaska.edu/ . King Cove is located at the end of the Alaska Peninsula, it is also where I was born and raised. As you can see, travel to King Cove is by small aircraft. The one from Anchorage to Cold Bay is called a Saab and carries about 20 people. The flight takes about 2 1/2 hours.
I couldn't help but remember what Psalms 121: 1-2 says, "I will lift my eyes to the mountains, from where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Those mountains are so majestic and beautiful. My goodness, if God has the power to form these - He certainly has the power to help us in our every day lives!
