Yep .... it's so beautiful here!

I am having a FANTASTIC time in Alaska! I have spent the last three days touring the area between Fairbanks (central AK) and Valdez (Prince William Sound/south AK). We toured a salmon fishing boat, a self-sufficient community, talked to a young-ish couple who live off the land, toured the pipeline, looked at lots of cool plants and birds, have seen a MILLION beautiful scenic vistas, saw one grizzly bear ! and several moose ..... and have eaten incredibly good food (and lots of it). MAN, I have had a great time already! Tomorrow is free, then it's back to a packed schedule full of fun. More details later! klt
