I've decided to continue with traveling and will head to Durango next Friday, spend the weekend there and then head to Jacob Lake, North Rim of the Grand Canyon for a few days before descending into 110+ weather, and of course work!!

Actually, my time away from work has not flown by or dragged. It's been quite even and very, very enjoyable. The trip to Alaska will remain with me forever and to say it was exciting is just not giving it the proper verbage. I'm already saving for a return trip.

I'll add photos from my next trip next week.

Enjoying my time home in Colorado Springs. Rain and thunderstorms everyday...quite nice. Took my truck in and there was some damage done to the differential and I had a transfer case seal go bad. Unexpected expense, but also necessary. I spent 2 days cleaning the inside and outside of the trailer. Oh my...talk about glacier dirt.....geez, that stuff sticks like cement. I'm sure I'll be finding more for weeks to come.

I've started an album of my trip...sounds lame, but this was really something and I sure don't want to forget any of it. I'm also planning my next visit already! It is a state I want to spend more time in, for sure....

Been back home in Colorado Springs since late yesterday afternoon. Weather is great...thunderstorm both yesterday and today. From what I hear, the reservoirs are full. Nice for a change. Been busy cleaning everything - taking my time, in between the rain storms.

Here are a few more photos - the pipeline is quite amazing.

This one shows the pipeline going over a river.

These two are from a visitor center area in Anchorage. Has some history and lets you get up close and personal with the pipeline. Quite fascinating

Enjoy the 4th..safe travels to all who are out and about!

Wednesday, July 1

In Douglas, Wyoming and will make it to Parker, CO tomorrow where my sister lives. From there I'll head south to my house and rewind, reflect - and CLEAN. Boy, is my trailer dirty and so is the truck. You know how I'll be spending 4th of July weekend. To all my Intel co-workers, have a great long weekend. Be safe.
