After a month of living in Healy and seeing the same scenery every day, I finally had the opportunity to go to Anchorage last weekend. I picked up one of our vehicles there and brought it back with another coworker. It gave me a chance to do some shopping and try out a couple of restaurants. When you live in a big city you forget that not everyone can just walk into a Target or a Safeway or a Walgreens whenever they want to buy what they need.
I haven’t seen much wildlife since I got to Alaska, but the trip to Anchorage brought several great sightings. On the way down I saw a bald eagle sitting in a tree next to the road. Coming back, we spotted three grizzlies and two moose.
I’m getting excited about being able to get into Denali National Park soon. There are trails to be hiked, wildlife to watch, and photos to be taken. It’s why I come here. Maybe next weekend….
Travels with Billie 
Billie, could we trade a little weather with you? It’s 102 in Phoenix today with more of the same expected for next week. We are waiting for a bookcase to be delivered (for Lee’s man cave) and then we are loading up the three cats and heading for Flagstaff, where it’s perfect. Glad to get your posts and hear about “another world.”
Keep ’em coming. Lesley
