Today I took a drive and a hike...I drove all the way to Houston, what a ride. On the way though I stopped in Wasilla...home to the next VP. On the way back from my roadie I saw a sign for a couple of places I had been wanting to go...Mirror Lake and Thunderbird Falls. T-bird falls was quite a hike...1000 vertical feet in a very short amount of time...some may think nothing of it, but it was quite the climb. It was a very beautiful area and an amazing view. Walking through the forest it reminded me somewhat of the forests in North Central Missouri where I grew up.
Here are a few pics from my adventure today.
Just for Chaz...this is an auto body shop that is in Anchorage. My view heading north to Houston.
Welcome to Houston, Alaska...not quite like home.
Welcome to Wasilla, the home of Sarah Palin...next VP of the US
