Back Home Again

Well, we are back from Alaska and doing well. The jet lag is almost gone and our sleeping hours are getting normalized. We had a great trip. And I think K-Kate and Jane had a good one too. We saw all kinds of stuff in Alaska that I didn't even know existed and some stuff that I did but had forgotten about. One place that I had forgotten was the Air Force's site named Clear. Clear was a place one used to scare little airmen. The roads in Clear end at the fence and the only access is by helicopter or plane. The Alaskan Railroad does have trains that go by, but they don't stop!


The sights were a little masked by a giant tundra or taiga fire burning between Denali and Fairbanks. We went near it on the Alaskan Railway and for a couple of hours it was completely dark as we passed through and under the smoke. That's the only nighttime that we experience for the whole 12 days. We did manage to get some pretty good pictures and will share them as time goes by.

I'll get back to the "life and times" again as soon as some inspiration strikes me.
