Snow Mobiling Prologue

Intro |
|
We finally made it up to
Alaska
this year, for Thanksgiving. Though Patricia lived
there for many years, it was my first trip.
We flew into Anchorage, staying at a family friends
house in Eagle River, halfway between Anchorage and Palmer.
Heather, Patricia's eldest lives near Wasilla. And we went
North to Talkeetna (about two hours North of Wasilla) to go
snow-mobiling.
Patricia got to see family and I got to see some of Alaska.
Very pretty, very different. Next trip we want to head South into
the Kenai Peninsula, down towards Seward or Soldotna, etc.

Steps down to the jacuzzi out back.

Bill's front yard.

Bill's street, what a scenario to live in. Town at one end, and
it dead ends into a park at the other.

Prologue |
|
This trip was more for family than sight seeing.
Had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Bill's. His kitchen was large enough for Patricia
to do her best.
Scenery was different than what I had expected, mostly flat lands and mountains, and
the trees were stunted from the harsh climate from what I am used to, but overall very pretty.
Looking forward to getting into some of the true forested areas on a future trip.
