Higman Family Arrives at Outside Beach

I received word yesterday from Dede (Hig’s mom) that Hig, Erin, Katmai and Lituya were expected to arrive last evening to Outside Beach. They were planning to spend the night and are hoping folks will stop by for a visit and hang around the campfire tonight (Wednesday) for a potluck dinner! Their plan is to leave Outside Beach Thursday morning and would love to have anyone join them for a bit of the walk! Come to the beach this evening with your favorite “beach food” and get first-hand details on their departure time, an update on how the first few days of their trip have been (we have had awesome weather!) and encourage our extreme adventurers for their next leg around Cook Inlet!
Seldovia’s Choose Respect Rally and March Was Well Attended
Approximately 50 people gathered in Seldovia to take part in the statewide Choose Respect rally, calling for an end to domestic violence, sexual assault and child sexual abuse.
Participants marched from the school to the post office carrying signs calling for Alaskans to step up, take a stand and make a difference.
More than 140 communities across the state participated in Choose Respect marches on Thursday, March 28.
