Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
Tad Williams

In loving memory of Madeleine and Robert Richardson. I am grateful for the time that we had, and I miss you both. You will be with me where ever the road may lead.

Arctic circle here I come...

Minor glitch in the plans. I had to cancel and shred a Credit Card. It seems I was simultaneously charging stuff in Oakland,CA and Anchorage, AK... Bank of America was on top of it, and cleared the charges off my acct, but I'm down 1 CC so far. I hope I have better luck with my other cards.
Love it when the weatherman s wrong, it's NOT raining today. It's now or never for seeing the arctic circle. If I can get up there and back without blowing a tire, I'll be heading south next... Back through Yukon to Prince George, then Vancouver-ish and along the west coast. I just got the National Parks Yearly pass, and plan on using it every chance I get. Here's a few pics for the road. Unfortunately Mt McKinley was overcast most of the day, only got a few good shots. But then again, you can find better ones on the WWW; lol. Wish you were here,
Wake up son! That was just 1 bail, we've got to do a dozen more before the day is done...
Looks fun AND dangerous... Can I take it for a spin?
Snow Plow Locomotive? WOW! Looks like the arms push the edge of the plow bout 30 feet on either side.
Denali just before the clouds moved in and covered everything up
Hurricane Gultch you say? Is there another way across? No? Ok then...
194 miles to go...
