Goodbye Tallahassee, Hello Anchorage.
That’s how my day started. Now its 3:00 a.m. EDT, 11:00 p.m. local and still daylight outside. Alaska is just so cool.
I arrived in Anchorage today at 3:30 to a balmy 70 degrees and sunny. A few photos are attached to highlight my long but quick day. I am staying tonight at Cross Creek Mine to do a little gold panning and nature viewing prior to Kevin’s arrival. One bear already spotted on the mountain tonight. When I got here I found that the Gold Prospectors of America organization is here camping for their kick off weekend for the summer. I hung out with some Alaska "good ole boys" listening to tales of prospecting and seeing collected gold. Tomorrow I’ll be surrounded by professional gold miners, my slim chance of finding gold just got slimmer.
Oh well, good night, I mean good morning.
