Checking in again. Thanks, speedie for getting Gita caught up on the lost purse incident.

I love all your ideas of places to go. I love Anne of Green Gables, too.

Hehehehe, sacrificing garden budget for travel is frightening. That is the reason I am slowly switching to shrubs, etc. that can fend for themselves. With kids all over the country we DO like to travel.

Spent the night on Wichersham Dome north of Fairbanks to experience the summer solstice. About 150 miles short of the Arctic Circle. Should have checked the weather before we headed out yesterday. We got part way up the Dalton Highway(ice road trucker road) before we turned around. The rain looked like it was settling in and the gravel road just didn't sit well with us. Today is a relaxing day in Fairbanks. They are having a Midnight sun festival. Just checking in on Day 12.

The enclosed garden was at Rika's roadhouse. She was able to grow a lot of food from that garden to supple the kitchen at the roadhouse. Apparently the university studied her methods.

The mosquito is made from burls. Thought you'd get a kick out of that. They do kind of swarm on you, but thankfully aren't that big.

Will check in again when we get to Anchorage.
