Later on the Glenn Highway, we stop for the night in a rest area. There was a whole lotta moose goin on! Here's two of them, crossing the road. (To get to the other side, of course.)

11:00PM and the sun is just thinkin about going down behind the mountain on the right. The light was streaming horizontally across the mountains in the back. Spectacular. Just Spectacular.

Here I am, unhooking the Chevy Tahoe in the parking lot of a Fred Meyer's in Anchorage Alaska.
At least I *Think* that's my dinghy; It is attached to the motorhome, but it's hard to recognize.
