Now is the Time to See Forever… I left ahead of Elsy to make the Ribbon cutting ceremony that I had been invited to. I always like to get this shot when I use the ferry. When the boat passes this point, you see the complete building top to bottom. This double-truck ad in the [...]

Elsy and I had been invited to a free Open House of One World Observatory by Legends Corp. I pounced on this opportunity and scheduled my slot for 11 AM. The Open House was a final preview of what the Observatory would be on Opening Day which would be on May 29. Today was foggy [...]

I headed up Bogard Road and turned onto Finger Lake Park Way and paid the $5 State Park Fee. I then went to the camp host’s trailer and waited. The camp host was at another location and dropped what she was doing to facilitate my canoe rental. I chose a red Coleman flat-bottomed canoe, rather [...]

After visiting Iditarod Headquarters, I moved over to the Dorothy G. Page Museum at 323 Main Street. Page was the mother of the Iditarod, so this was an appropriate seque. Admission is $3 and the museum encompasses the basement and first floor. The staircase leading to the basement is painted to look like a mine [...]

Finally, my time to vacate the Lake Lucille Bed and Breakfast came. I had my final Part I of breakfast in the kitchen, and packed my gear into the rental car. I then went to the dock to bid Lake Lucille a long final farewell. So many treasures on this lake I have seen and [...]

Following my tour of downtown Anchorage, I went along the Seward Highway and stopped at Potter Marsh – a wetland created accidentally when the Alaska Railroad was built. You can see salmon swimming in the marsh, though I could not pick them up with the camera. Moose frequent the area as well, as you can [...]

The day began with my Lake Lucille Bed and Breakfast-supplied goodies, followed by a trip to the Mocha Moose to get my usual, then to City Hall to thank Bonnie for showing me the rooms where Sarah Palin sat as Wasilla’s City Councilwoman in Seat E and as the city’s Mayor, as documented in the [...]

After Independence Mine and and my stops in Palmer and Wasilla Lake for the Sarah Palin History Tour, I stopped off at Señor Taco, because I was jonesing for Mexican food. From there, I returned to Lake Lucille Bed and Breakfast. I pulled the laptop out of the room, set it on a table on [...]
