I took this picture at midnight last night looking over Lost Lake. The sun is still shining on the mountain peak although it has officially set.

Moving equipment off the Island at midnight.

I woke up to ravens circling my TP

My very best Indian impression

Since it had a real mattress in there, it was pretty comfortable

Great breakfast, also had waffles that aren't shown.

A couple of Harley riders enjoying the view at low tide on Turnagin Arm.

We made a quick stop here at the traditional start of the Iditarod.

It now starts in Willow, but this museum remains

I hope you can read this better than I was able to in person.

Pretty flowers at the traditional starting place.

This was assembled from parts by some high school student in 1979

In 1964 a devastating earthquake shook Anchorage.

The resulting tsunami pushed this ship this far past the shoreline

It still remains there today as a reminder of natures strength

Leaving Wasilla, WA we could see this bloom of smoke over the east side of McKinley.

Shortly after we passed the area of the fire, it turned and jumped the road. The road was closed.

The mountain was very clear today save for that tiny little cloud at the top.

I think these guys were landing at the Talkeetna airstrip

Tim shot this one for me

Sarah recommended the Roadhouse in Talkeetna for lunch

It was a very cool place with bakery, cafe, and rooms.

I had the salmon clam chowder. Excellent.

These are very big mountains.

Almost as big as the load on my bike!
