Starter pictures

Here are a few teaser pictures. The weather was nearly 80 in the afternoons and then cool and calm in the evenings and nights. Every Alaskan said it was the best two weeks of weather they could recall! Cousin Tom thinks we are specail as he believes that Alaska really shows its true colors to people who are worthy!

Homer, AK Bishop's Beach
Tide pooling during a -4.4 tide, which means the tide goes out really, really far. This bay area between Homer and Anchorage has the biggest tidal swing in the world.


Denali National Park
Mt. McKinley or Denali as it actually called, highest point in North America. Visible only 20% of the year. It was crystal clear both days we were in the park.


Kenai Fjords National Park
Reflective view of mountains with ice bergs floating in the water.

Lone wolf from the McKinley pack. He was eying the Dall Sheep just up the ridge.
