7/19/06 - okay...i am trying this one more time today before i give up and walk away for the day....hopefully it will work...we'll see....from anchor point and homer we headed back up the penisula to anchorage and then on up to see our friend mike, who also spent the winter in mactown with us...he stayed in anchorage with beau's brother, jean, sister-in-law paula and their beautiful three-week-old daughter kylie...it was really comfortable there...we took some back roads to get back to anchorage and below is a shot of this amazing lake we stopped to "overlook"...just stunning....the rugged-ness of the mountains is amazing, as are all of the out-of-the way spots you can just stop and get out and hike around and go over, etc....just a wild and incredible part of the world...you definitely forget you are in the states....hopefully the picture will post....cross your fingers....
yahoo...it worked for the moment....the next place we stopped was the mine at hatcher's pass...it is a very old gold mine...that is falling apart...but these days folks can check it out and all the buildings that are left behind...and of course...the moment we got out of the truck it started to rain...you gotta love our luck....of course we just got wet and enjoyed ourselves anyway...what's a bit of water to an alaskan guy and a girl who spent a lot of time living in seattle...it's just water after all....here's a shot of the dilapidated mine...a very cool place to check out :)
okay...again...no pictures will post...i am giving up for the day...as i am frustrated...will try and update successfully tomorrow...sorry about this...but i am really angry with this system....catch you on the flip side....grrrrrrrrr....
