Just for the view of it

Before I left Alaska, I spent about 30 hours Anchorage. It was fantastic. We climbed Rainbow mountain which afforded some amazing views. It was a wonderful start to my summer vacation.

We had a beautiful day. Molly liked it too.

Getting up the mountain wasn't really the hard part, it was getting down that freaked me out. I imagined loosing control and bear hugging the mountain, sliding uncontrolably down to the base. So, here I am, nice and cautious on the decent.

Summit!

I greatly enjoyed meeting you on the ferry from Madelin Island, Wisconsin. Your blog and the life you are living are inspiring to say the least. I have shared your blog address with my three adverturing daughters. My Washington DC daughter's blog is sarahblakeleydc.blogspot.com . Have a wonderful summer.
