1. Kevin at Thunderbird Falls, north of Anchorage a mile hike off the road. So the adventure begins.
2. Kevin, not in class, while I was lecturing at a high school. This is an example of what we writers call "irony", also spelled "envy".

3. The library at Willow, Alaska (It's really there under all the snow).
4. A "sing-for-your-dinner" presentation at the Willow Library, and I certainly got my money's worth. |

5. Kevin and Rick prepared to "mush". 6. Me on a dog sled. Yes, there really are ten dogs attached to this sled. We're just lousy photographers.

7. The public library in Talkeetna (the post office is a log cabin, too). 8. Downtown Talkeetna and Nagley's store, an important source of provisions high in sugar! |

9. Latitude 62, our home-away-from-home in Talkeetna, Alaska. We stayed upstairs. Kevin discovered that the TV only got one station - whatever they were watching in the bar!
10. Me, Kevin, and Geri. Geri and her husband own Talkeetna Aero Services, and they generously donated a flightseeing trip of Denali. I'm smiling because it's over.

15. ... and only lasted an hour. The pilot, my Super, Duper Library Contact Patty Christenson, me, and Kevin. A word about the coat I'm wearing. It doesn't look like that because of all the pot luck dinners, but because I bought a boy's ski jacket on sale. Really.
16. The moose that Kevin and Rick saw in downtown Anchorage, that I didn't see. Not
that I'm
bitter or anything like that.
