On Sunday, June 28, we went to Powerline Pass in the morning. We parked in the Flattop Mountain parking area and Deb, Mark, Mandy & Katie (the dogs), Leah and I all went for a walk. The weather was perfect! I guess this is a good place to spot moose, but we didn't see any. There were people hiking up many of the mountains. I guess hiking up Flattop is one of the most popular hikes in Anchorage. There were lots of pretty wildflowers along the way.... read more

We have spent the last several days with Noel and Sue at thier home in Anchorage. We have enjoyed taking the time to unwind from the road trip. After our fishing trip, we have decided to rearrange the trip. We are going to leave here and head towards Inuvik. That is at the end of the Dempster Highway, 500 miles of dirt road(1000 if you count round trip). We went Downtown the other day and visited the museam. Yesterday we drove out to the small town of Hope Alaska. It is across the bay from Anchorage. By the way, when you look at the Glacier pictures, it is not mounds of dirt. The ice flows down and pushes the rock and dirt ahead of it. As the glacier recides, the ice is covered in a thin ... read more

I am going to talk to the lady at the Alpine Apartments at 9. Hopefully we can move in tonight or tomorrow. REALLY hopefully lol. I love camping, but you can only handle so much of a good thing, ya know? We went to Petco and got Griffin a new harness and leash yesterday. This one was supposed to stop him from pulling when he walks. Lol, guess how that turned out? Yeah, not so much. That little fart has so much freaking energy. So, David is still waiting to hear back from the telecommunications company, GCI, up here. He would be doing what he was back home, and he would be making more money than he is right now. He's really starting to like the people he works with now, though. I'm glad. They have ... read more

So here I am stealing some more wifi lol. I found out that I didn't get the job at the mortgage company yesterday. Guess it's for the best, though. I don't think I really wanted to work at a mortgage company, I think I just wanted to work. Anyways, the girl from Adams & Associates, Carolynn, is amazing. She is doing everything she can to get me a job, even if it's not through the company. She actually called her mom and sister and even an old friend who works for the governer's office to see if she could find anything. I've been joking around with her and calling her my best friend every time she calls me. I'm seriously gonna get her flowers or take her out to dinner or something when I actually start ... read more
