Truely it took my breath away. The past 3 evenings we had equally glorious sunsets. I was not able to get pix of those. I will try later to get more pix.

I am thrilled you all enjoy such beauty!

:-D

Must be the same sky I've been aweing at. Here is a photo from Hatcher's Pass on Sunday night. Most of the colors were long gone by the time I got to the car where my camera was, got the tripod set up and stuff, but it was still beautiful.

Well one of the guys that was on the team comes over and told me to scoot over! He drove it to the bottom. They were all dressed in Holstein cow ski tights. That was so hilarious! One of the Olympians, Todd Boonstra came to our home for dinner. We had a wonderful time. Those guys are just the sweetest bunch! Many years ago, and fond memories!
Later that evening as I was returning home my car was hit! As I got home my Dad had left a message. My mom had just died in the lower 48. I called Todd and he prayed for me as I was preparing to leave to help my Dad. Todd sent us a post card from Lillihammer and we made his parents a HUGE banner for "USA'S Booney" Todd's nickname. Great memories!!! When they (the team) got back to Alaska Todd invited me to his Olympic banquet. I felt such an honor and was teated like gold...ALaska gold!!!

Every time I think of Hatchers Pass I have wonderful memories flood back. Thank you so much for sending your lovely pix outside your home.

Alaska is sooooo GORGEOUS!!!

:-D :-D

Just a drive up to Hatcher's Pass for a cheese fondue. It was fun. Lots of kids snowboarding. They hitch hike up to the top, board down, then hitch up again. Looked like fun, but the lodge was warm and the fondue was delicious!
