I'm going with…Aliens

UPDATE: 12:50 PM Alaska Time
I see the captions don’t show on mobile devices. I’ve made a list of captions below the slide show.

Hi!

Things are coming to life around here. The traffic lights are operating now, some Husky Homestead tours require four buses, and the magnificent seven first litter of puppies is getting bigger, stronger, and more fun every day. I’ve been having fun working on the Homestead and taking some day trips.

See photos below. Hover over images for captions. Some photos have links to more information. Click the image to open the link in a new window.

I’m having a great time, but missing the pool and the kids very much. Hope everyone is getting in lots of swim time. Send me video if you like a remote lesson.

My best to you all!

Jeanie

Coming to life: traffic lights on and buses arriving

Tour season picking up:

Some Husky Homestead tours are requiring four buses.

The first litter of seven are growing up:

getting bigger, stronger, and more fun every day

Midnight Sunsets:

Some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen…

...even at Walmart!

Full moon during civil twilight

Even the cats aren't sure when to go to bed...

but they know it's still pretty cold at night

Check out the frost heaves in the road:

It’s like riding a roller coaster everywhere you drive

You are here...

Trans Alaska Pipeline

Milepost describes visitor center

I've arrived, but guards come out to question me

Guard: We don’t have a visitor center.

Me: Politely points to sign behind me

Guard: I've never seen that before.

There are only two buildings in sight - guard shack and visitors center.

Key is found - visitor center opened

I signed the guest book. The line above me was signed in May 2018, the line above that in 2015

I was interested in NOAA:

Now I think maybe they are talking to Aliens?! ;)

I'm glad I visited memorial:

He was an important player in the Alaska history musical I attended later

Love, love, love this place!
