Air Strip

Headed to Anchorage on Thursday. Rode in a basket sled behind a snow-go to the airstrip to catch this 7-passenger plan into the Kotzebue hub to catch the 737 jet to Anchorage. Our school district is sending some of us for training. Woo hoo! Restaurants, hotel, theaters, shops, Bright Lights, Big City!! It was -27/-36 degrees!!

I am in awe of people who live in such extreme climates. I spent 2 months in Alaska in the summer of 2002 and the scenery and wildlife are stunning. Enjoy your trip to the big city.

Okay, now I know why you're in Anchorage! Nice photos ~ fun to see how life in Alaska is so different from most anywhere else! Enjoy the weekend!

It is an adventure for all of us to read your stories and see the pictures. Have fun and enjoy.

Oh Joan what an experience. I love seeing all you photos of such an amazing place. That little plane looks a bit scary. Hope you have lots of fun. I am shivering with cold if it gets down lower than 20c here !

[Mannie]

What a trial to even get to the plane. Thanks for sharing.
