... to adventure and trouble. I mean you can encounter wild animals, get lost, find complete quiet, and get yourself into trouble if you get dumb. I find in my travels, that no matter how fascinating the art, the history, the beauty of the rural areas, the congeniality of the people, I need to get home to be where I can't control everything, people are few, and the land is wild and clean. <br><br>Visitors tell me that we're still friendly people here. I notice it when I return ...

... an axe, a claw hammer, wire, and a stick and got in (the keys were in the ignition). Half way through, in a brief weak moment - when they thought it wasn't going to work, the owner tried to break a back window with the axe - the thing bounced off, he hit it hard a couple times and nothing...which leaves me wondering how 'those guys' broke my window???<br> It was a beautiful drive.<br><br>oh, yeah - small world, on ...

The flight between Fairbanks and Anchorage was quicker than I could imagine. Didn't even have time to take a nap, but on the plus side, I got to get this picture of Mt. Mckinley. It's a bit warmer here at 20 degrees vs. Fairbanks 0 degrees ...

... styled houses, shops and fishing huts with a clapboard shack appeal to them. The most impressive sight, though, are the surrounding mountains circling Seward almost completely, like giant overseers. The mountains are rendered even more incredible as they are nearly smothered in pure white snow. On days when the sky is white with cloud, the camera cannot recognise the difference between the sky and the mountains, and you get these odd, bleached-white photographs that fail to do justice to ...

On our last day, back in Anchorage, we took a tour around the city,<br>rented a car and drove along the seward scenic hwy, visiting the Alaska<br>Wildlife Conservation Center. This is a wildlife refuge for the animals<br>native to alaska that for one reason or another cannot be returned to<br>the wild, so they make this their home. I have to say this ...

... Seward and Homer, so the extra couple days in those areas will probably be worth the trade. So, after sorting all that out in my head, I have some plans for the next couple days...and one or two things to still sort out. Tomorrow morning (which will come all too soon), I'll be on a bus to Talkeetna. I'm staying there one night, then I have a tent to stay in up in the Denali area. I'm still not 100% sure how I'm getting to Denali, but I think I'm taking ...

... We went back to the hotel where we took the bus to the train. This train ride was completely uninteresting. You could already tell that after the total lack of civilization as we neared Anchorage there was more population. Had dinner on the train. Prime Rib that was pretty good and this huge dessert that Cal and I shared and still couldn´t finish. Arrived at the Marriott at about 6:30 or so. Our room was nice. On the 9th floor. Tomorrow its home.

... back to where they had come from and suddenly there was less travel on the Iditarod Trail. The use of the airplane in the late 1920's signaled the beginning of the end for the dog team as a standard mode of transportation, and of course with the airplane carrying the mail, there was less need for land travel. The final blow to the use of the dog team came with the appearance of snowmobiles in Alaska.The race has started in downtown Anchorage since 1983. The teams ...

Now I tell the story of how I got a step-mom... I was 4 and Nicolas was 5. My Dad still had no wife. But since it was Christmas, my Dad felt like he found God's angel wanting to help, and now that angel is my mom. Her name is now Mrs. Barren-Peterson. She is only a year younger than my dad, but she was still good then ...
