Life in Alaska

Pictures at last!!!

I'm sorry its taken me so long to get this up and going. I've been aiming at it for almost a month. To my supporters, I hope this gives you some good pictures of what our travels have looked like so far. These pictures are the highlights of our Fairbanks trip, with more from Juneau to follow.

This is the team, from right to left they are Wes, Scott, Amy, Laura and myself. Wes just graduated from Montana State University. Scott has been on staff for four years and was previously at Central Washington University. Amy just graduated from University of Montana, and Laura is from Oregon State University. Other than Scott, we're all interns which means we're up here for the year. Scott hopes to stay and keep the Alaskan ministry going in the future.

This is Wes and I climbing around in Denali National Park. In these pictures we are both over 500 feet up a shere rock face. We didn't really need climbing gear for these intense climbs because we are just that good. The views were incredible. Over Wes' shoulder is a huge river valley, and the mountains surrounding Mt. McKinley were massive. This was a nice side trip on the way back from Fairbanks. Nature in Alaska is big, everything is big, the rivers, the mountains and the valleys. Its amazing.

While in Fairbanks we had the opportunity to hang out with the Campus Crusade group from University of Alaska Anchorage. They joined us for a saturday outreach at the campus and then our team, the UAA students, and some Fairbanks students hung out and played games at a local church. As you can see it was some good times.
