our trip to Alaska

We havehsd a great trip so far. We first went to Fairbanks where we took a great paddleboat ride down the Chena River and toured an Alaskan Village and saw how the natives made their homes, clothes and food. We saw the Susan Butcher family. She was the champion Iditerad runner for many years. She recently passed away at age 51. We bought a signed book about her favorite sled dog, Granite.

Then we took a trip to where they dredged for gold at a gold mine. The fun part was panning for gold. We all found a bit in our pans.

We then took the train down to Denali. We toured the park and saw moose, carribou, eagles,Dall sheep and Grizzly bears!

Now we are in Anchorage to see the Hurleys and do Paul's wedding.

On a lighter note after the dog abuse post (sheesh).. It's great to hear your having a good time up there. I have always wanted to visit Alaska for a while. I've heard it's a lot like Oregon with moose ;)

If you happen to see any mountain snow could you send it down my way. My Midwestern side is missing it.
