Well, we did it! I'm home in Alaska. It took Mom and I about 12 days to drive back, as we had to stop and visit a few friends and family along the way. We drove a total of 5,700 miles through 10 states and 2 Canadian territories. We saw so much! We spent 3 days in San Francisco with one of Mom's friends, Kathy. I loved the city and the wine country...beautiful! We drove up the coast and saw the Red Wood Forest, definately the highlight of my trip. I can't say enough about those incredible trees...I was in awe. We then headed to my Aunt Ceal's place near Wenatchee, WA. We stayed with her and her boys for two nights, then headed to Canada. We made it from her place in 3 1/2 days! Mom and I were bookin' it up the Alcan Highway and we saw a ton of wildlife. All in all, the trip was great but I'm glad to be out of the car. Yesterday I hiked Bear Mountain with my Pastor and some of my youth...it's good to be home.
