... traveling. In stores, people look you in the eye like maybe they know you from somewhere. Drivers are rude, like anywhere, but not always. Anchorage citizens are friendlier, freer, feistier. You can't tell who has the money.No one cares who your daddy is. Well, maybe that's changing a bit. But since we became a state in 1959, where's the status?

... Islands, to report on the construction progress of a dock and cold storage facility that we designed. We celebrated our 3rd Anniversary (June 11) at the same restaurant where we had our first date that wasn't a hiking trip. I know, how romantic. The waitress thought so too and brought us dessert on the house. J It's hard to believe that it's been three years already! July: Lots of hiking!

... with a couple of viewing carriages which had an all glass top that you could sit under to get a great view of the nature around you. Ben Reporting: We finally arrive in Seward, about 11 a.m. after a wonderfully scenic ride through the powder white countryside of Alaska.

Today was rather uneventful. I got up, caught the bus to the park, did laundry, rode around the park for about an hour (saw nothing too interesting), then got on the train. I slept a LOT on the train, and having clean clothes is quite nice. As I walked into the hostel, I was asking about the easiest way to get to the train station in the morning (as I'm headed to ...

... 15 mph. Granted, there are about 12 dogs but they are not big dogs. Half-way through our little trip they stopped along a creek and hurled themselves into the water for a drink and potty break and rested by flopping in the very cold water.

Through Finger Lake, Rainy Pass, over the Alaska Range and down the other side to the Kuskokwim River -- Rohn Roadhouse, Nikolai, McGrath, Ophir, Cripple, Iditarod and on to the mighty Yukon -- a river highway that takes the teams west through the arctic tundra. The race route is alternated every other year, one year going north through Cripple, Ruby and Galena, the next year south through ...

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 ...
