The last frontier
... Bunkhouses ist recht muehsam, das naechstgelegene kann ueber einen steilen, 4 Meilen langen Pfad erreicht werden. Zur Erie Mine gibt es heute keinen Pfad mehr, da waere Kraxelei und ein Fuehrer angesagt. Die Natur hier ist spektakulaer, alles ist umgeben von Gletschern, tausenden von Metern hohen Eisfaellen und Gipfeln mit ewigem Eis und Schnee.

I have to admit to a fair amount of uncertainty in doing this trip when we woke up and discovered a light drizzle and overcast skies. I really wanted to do it on a bright sunny day when all ...
Day at the Alaska State Fair
We didn't connect with the people from ND before we left this morning. I did talk to another couple in their travel group that knew him as "Big John." At least we can say we saw another ND license plate in Alaska.
Our 45-minute drive from Anchorage to Palmer was very scenic. I can't believe how much the leaves have turned here. We were noticing the change the last week down on the Kenai Peninsula but up here it's more dramatic. I think it's the aspen trees that ...
