Mike and Iwent this morning to Wasilla, home of Sarah Palin. It is a small town of about 9,000. The people there as well as the people everywhere we have been are so friendly and courteous. They are amazing. I will be back there next Monday so will post pix then. I hope to see her home.
We met 2 pastors for breakfast at 8:30 at IHOP. At 10:30 we left those 2 and went down the street to Angelinos and met 2 pastors and an evangelists and their wives for lunch. At 1:00 PM we left to travel 309 miles to Fairbanks. The weather was bad, lots of misty rain, and clouds so we were not able to get good pix that will show up here. We traveled up hill literally for 309 miles. When we left Wasilla we looked off in the distance at the mtn. range which has Mt McKinley, which is the highest mtn. in North America (over 20,000 ft. I think). We drove all the way to the summit and were still climbing. We traveled above the tree line and were looking at the mtns. beside us instead of above us..It was the most amazing thing to basically drive above the treeline.
We arrived in Fairbanks about 7PM local time. WE are so close to the Arctic Circle now that the magnetic field does not allow a compass to work. They have the use satellites.
This is an amazing place. I am so blessed to be able to travel thru it. I would love to come back and bring you all with me
