Alaska Journals

Quote: This goal of this trip was to check off our 49th and 50th state. We drove from Iowa to Seattle where we boarded a cruiseship for a 14 day cruise. On the way home we planned on going across North Dakota, but it was closed due to flooding!

Quote: Trip to Denali then south to Seward, Homer, and Soldotna

Quote: At the end of every season, the NPS allows 400 private vehicles for each of four days to drive the 92 mile Park Rd. This year over 10,000 people entered "the lottery" and I was fortunate enough to be able to drive the road on three of the four days!

Quote: From Anchorage for the Iditarod start to Fairbanks for The Alaska World Ice Championships

Quote: With our whirlwind "five day weekend" to Alaska based in Anchorage, we did make time to venture beyond Anchorage to Denali Nat'l Park, Girdwood, Palmer, Wasilla and Willow.

Quote: Another winter trip to Anchorage, this time to take in the last of the Fur Rendezvous events along with the start of the world famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. My winter trips to Alaska are becoming common fodder for discussion and this year my friend Jane joined me.

Quote: After taking in the 2010 Fur Rondy in Anchorage, I knew I would have to return for the "Last Great Race on Earth". I took in all that is the Iditarod sled dog race during a five day weekend with friends from Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

Quote: This is my first trip to Alaska, where I check out the mountains, the ocean, and most importantly, The Iditarod.
