A very short synopsis of Alaska

Our Alaska trip was AWESOME! I will have to talk more about it later, but I thought that I'd throw a few pictures on!


Here are Barrett and I on the Ferry boat. We had just arrived in Wrangel and were just about to get off. Wrangel had a city park where we could camp for free (our favorite price) but there wasn't much else to do there...so we left the next day.
This house on an island was located in Sitka, I think anyway; it is SOOO cool! We saw many houses similar to this one while we were on the ferry going up through the channels. Barrett and I would live there, but there is no where to put the horses.

Here am I with an authentic petroglyph made by some indians thousands of years ago or something like that. If you think my face looks goofey...it's because it is; if you look closely at the engraving in the rock, it is a beaver face, and even though my buck teeth are gone, I am still doing the best "beaver-teeth-grin" I can muster. I'd say I haven't lost my touch...
Here is Barrett with another one of those petroglyphs. That one is really just a crazy-looking face with googly eyes, and an open mouth. I think there is another beside it that is similar. Anyway, Barrett wouldn't try and make a googly face like I made a beaver face, but he was still a good sport about having his picture taken. (Josh might call it a "David Gardener" face...)

Here am I, wearing the orange skirt that I made so that Barrett wouldn't lose me in the crazy forests. This is a HUGE tree that has fallen over and these other trees are growing on top of it. This is a very common site in SE Alaska. After the large fallen tree desintigrates, the trees that have grown on top are suspended in the air by their roots and look really wild!
Here are some more "parasite" like trees...They are really crazy and we just has a great time!
We are in Wrangel, and I am in a tree...but in the bottom, not the top...

And here is an example of some animals that we DIDN'T see, but rather, I have made the pattern for and as soon as I get two minutes to "rub-together" I'll put this pattern on my Etsy site. This is a pattern for foxes and wolves...though, as you can tell, I had a devil of a time finding just the right fabric! But they are very cute and look great chasing the rabbits! Bleh!

Anyway, I will hopefully post again with some more pictures and what-not! Till then...
