... 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? "Hey my family has been in Alaska since 1959?" Don't think so. Some people are starting to show their money. There is a big ...

... how huge the eruption was! The place reminded me of the landscapes generated by the eruptions of Mont St Helens in 1980 in the U.S. and Mount Pinatubo in 1991 in the Philippines.

Such a place built by a recent volcanic eruption reminds us that our planet is not dead. More large-scale eruptions are likely to occur in Katmai or elsewhere in the world. There were no casualties during the 1912 ...

... earnest a few days ago. Last night, it rained heavily and the temperatures dropped. Failing to set the thermostat before bed, we awoke to a very chilly trailer. The picture shown in this blog is one you won’t see very often – me, in a sweatshirt! Yes, the damp chill has forced to me don heavier attire. Here it is, July 26th, and not only am I in sweats, but my feet are still cold! Knowing what our friends and loved ones are enduring ...

... of locations. We try to make time to go out to eat to celebrate the end of someone's rotation. It is amazing to me the comaraderie that develops among us in such a short period of time. Anyway, during one of my trips to Wasilla (home of you know who), a colleague and I stopped off at a Native American cemetary to view the unique manner in which they bury their dead. The Tanaina tribe build small structures over ...

... money down, the closing costs can be pretty significant. With the budget I was creating, $7,000 of closing costs was over 2 months of travel that we would either have to give up or I would have to work longer. I wanted neither. I just wanted to get going. To further complicate matters, I am the only one going to go back to work. Jason would be half way through a season now ...

... wondering if it should come with a side of penicillin, those are rare in asia and southeast asia. And then I talk to complete strangers in the line to get on the plane. Odd that I should have missed this. We spoke with many strangers. We even tried signing and different languages. But joining a conversation in a line simply by having the line in common is truly American. So is talking in the bathroom. The plane takes us to Chicago as slow as can be, it seems. But at least we can ...

... we we decided to pick up six pounds of king crab legs, as well as some fruits and salad. Before heading over to the grocer store, the New Sagaya, we checked out one of the local popular clubs, Chilkoot Charlie's. From there, we over to my nephew's house and chowed down on our newly purchased groceries.

... the
highlight of our trip, there many animals here to see in their natural
habitat (not like a zoo) and all the proceeds from the admission ticket
and gift shop purchases go to taking care of them. I even got to feed a
deer. My alaska trip was amazing and I look forward to the day that I
can revisit this beautiful state of wilderness.

... if we have any questions about the sights we are seeing who can call up all the history and stories behind everything. Betty (Mum) & Geoff (sounds like George Fornby) - (late 60's) - Going on to Antartica after Argentina - They are incredible. Spend a lot of time travelling and doing these trips. They've been everywhere and are old hands at the living in the wilderness lark. Betty does the boys washing and sews buttons etc. Looks after us when we have hangovers! Bob & Hazel - (late ...
