Trip to Alaska

On Wednesday I am headed to Alaska for the second time this year. The first trip was in March, and my oh my it was cold in Fairbanks; negative ten degrees farenheit was plenty cold enough for me. On that week-long trip I went to Juneau, and Anchorage as well and they were not so bad as Fairbanks. None-the-less, Alaska is a vast and beautiful state, even in the cold of March.

This time I will be flying to Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kenai, and Fairbanks, and I have high hopes for not feeling anything cooler than 40 degrees this time around. This trip is for work but I do hope to see the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau (it was too foggy in March), and the Alsaka oil pipeline while in Fairbanks. I'd like to get a picture with Sarah Palin too, but I do not think she is going to have time for me while I am in Juneau or Anchorage.

The picture I've included with this post is a picture taken somewhere above Alaska on while on my trip in March. When I think of Alaska in the winter I think of this picture. This time around I hope to have more time for taking pictures and recording the trip.
