FIRST IN BARRELS AND POLES AT KPS FAIR

August 18 ~ Saturday ~ cloudy to rain...and breezy.
Another great day at the fair...weather was perfect (read above)...Tera’s steer sold for $4/lb, bought by AIC (Alaksa Interstate Construction, the company David works for) with a sooo yummy BBQ afterward for the bidders (Jack bid for AIC~ so, yup...we indulged in the food) ...and Lindsay won the barrels and poles in the rodeo (in the rain)...and took fantastic pictures of Hannibul. Even talked to Shad, Lindy Mae and Sterling early this morning which made a great start for the day!!!
Have tried to go from flash drive to Schnabl’s computer, but something isn’t working right...so...the wait continues for blogging.
No moose close by or on the horizon tonight.
And...still a heavy drizzle.

Talkeetna purchase

We bought land about 15 miles SW of Talkeetna, Alaska...on e-bay...sight unseen! in 2006. I probably wouldn't recommend doing that for everyone, but we were blessed it was legal...and now have good neighbors in the north, too. In fact, one of our neighbors built a 250 foot road with a turn-around into our place and we could stay on our land part of the summer. Of course, then there was the flood with the washing out of the only good road leading to Malispina Loop, so had to wait to start back to MT for a few days until that was repaired and we could retrieve our cargo trailer, since we had left it on our land while down on the Kenai.

Welcome to the travels of John and Chrysa

We leave on June 6th so are in the process of thinking about getting ready. Actually, I've had stacks here and there all winter, but don't know if that'll save me time or not. I have washed and waxed the fronts of the camper (slide-in with tip-out) and under the overhead so all the bugs we hit can have a spot now. It was fairly crowded before starting...but I always use 'Black streak remover'~ if you haven't tried it, do...it's awesome! I'm going to give getting pictures on here a whirl in the near future...just hoping it's nearer (didn't have problems) than farther (had problems) away.
