Retirees
Two nights ago stayed in Tok, Alaska at the Sourdough Campground. The owner, Ken, bought it last year after he had had enough working for Hilton Hotels in Salem, Oregon. He and his wife moved to Alaska and are now running the campground. Ken wants to bring camping back to what it used to be by gwtting everyone out of their motorhomes and together. Every night they have live music by a Tok native and a pancake toss contest to win free breakfast. It's a little cheesy but everyone got into it.
What made the biggest impression on me was watching all the retired couples. They are too cute. They sing along with the music without knowing the words, make corney jokes that awarded with belly laughes all around. It's heart warming to see them all having such a good time. They honestly look like young couples again, ex-doctors, lawyers or whatever, back to being themselves again.
