On Friday morning I left the house before 4am to get to the airport for a day trip to Kodiak. However, as I was driving thru Wasilla there was a car chase in front of me. A police car was in front of me (traffic) holding us 1/2 mile back from the pursuit. It ended 20 min later and I was witness to all of it. The car was in flames and the driver trying to attack the police with a bat was shot and killed. I did not make it to the airport in time but sure was a crazy morning.
Saturday Amanda had a full weekend of work, so I headed down the Hope to visit with Brendan and Jessie. We worked on the house, celebrated Bill's birthday and took a hike.
Our friend just sold her coffee shop. Still the best coffee shop name of all time..."Grounds for Hope"
Brendan putting in the chimney. We had a close call with a nail gun and my neck (no damage). It was also the second time in my life Brendan "blew snot" that landed on me. Sure is lucky he is my best friend.
Nice hike up Bear Mountain Valley in Hope
Active gold mining
Brendan and Jessie's house is coming along
Monday morning I was sick as a dog and called into work. By the afternoon I felt well enough to venture out. Amanda said let's go fishing. So we headed north to Sheep Creek. On the way...Denali came into view.
Amanda was able to kick fish but no bites.
We were about to leave but I got a hook up.
And landed a big Chum (Dog) Salmon.
We then said let drive a little further and get a beer in Talkeetna.
Wish every Monday involved excellent beer, sunshine and my smiling fiance'
This last pic is of a bunch of little camps that natives live in.
