Sept 15 2016

  Another month as passed here in Alaska, can't believe this is our last year.  I am trying to make a list of things we still want to do.  It doesn't feel like it's been 4 yrs here, time seems to be flying by.
   Everyone that has been posted back to the Mother Land (Canada) has said you are going to miss this great state.  I feel like my Canada isn't to much different then Alaska.....I'm from BC and we have mountains, glaciers, salmon...etc....but BC has rain (and a lot of it) so that being said I will miss our little piece of heaven.
  Aug 26 2016-So hubby and I did a Zip-lining trip with our Canadian friends, that was so much fun.....we left our place to drive to the Denali Main Park Entrance, at O dark early, we saw 8 Moose, and the Great One...Denali (Mt McKinley).  The drive didn't seem to long with us all excited for our adventure, I don't think many of us had done Zip lining before, there was 8 of us total.  We meet the other group at the Zip Line building, early of course....=) We signed in and then had to wait for the tour to start.  So we walked about looking at the gift shops.  I bought a pair of mitts for my christmas tree...because I have been looking for a pair that looked simalar for myself and could find them...they are on the "List" of things to buy in Alaska. So hubby and I walk down the many shops, and into the second to last shop....when I find these mitts (black even)....on sale...even better.....I was happy...=) I get home and look more closely and they are made in Canada....=)

We waited for our tour to start with http://www.denalizipline.com/ we had an amazing time....lots of fun....we wanted to go again.....thank you to TK and Ian.
