In August, 2003, Wai, Linda, Dave, Carl, & Lisa embarked on a 10-day adventure trip in Alaska. No, not a cruise...we ain't cruise types = P We flew into Anchorage and went on a road trip! Check out pictures from the various places we went to in Alaska:
Also, see below for pics in Anchorage (where we flew into) and miscellaneous pics of the places between destinations. Animal sightings list: tufted puffins sea otters steller sea lions orcas (killer whale) porpoises humpback wahle bald eagle marmot black bear & cub rock ptarmigan (bird) chum & kokanee salmon beaver moose caribou grizzly bears & cubs wolf dall sheep oh my! CLICK PICS TO ENLARGE, and 'BACK' on your browser to return. The beautiful Kingsview B&B, where unfortunately we stayed just to sleep the 1st night. View of Anchorage in the background:

Potter Station on the Turnagain Arm (between Anchorage & Seward). That's Dave going for a spin on a snowblower that gets shoved in front of the train to clear snow off the tracks.:
Geocaching (McHugh View II) on the 1st day (What is geocaching?). Cache site (left), view of Turnagain Arm from 1000 feet up, near the geocache (right). We left 'Whee Cat' in the cache:
The Turnagain Arm, a very shallow but very huge and scenic inlet of water near Anchorage. Whirlpool (left) is caused by the bore tide moving in:
Iditarod museum and kennels at the town of Knik. The puppies are CUTE...as puppies always are:
Lake Hood, Anchorage, where you can not only 'park' your plane, but take off and land it too. That would be the life!:
Don't look now, but there's a large grizzly behind you...
