Fall

A harvest moon, golden leaves and a chilly morning sure remind us that Fall is in the air.

Matanuska Peak Hike

Our most recent hike was on a great beautiful day. It looked cloudy up at the top, but we went anyways.

Here is where we headed. . .Matanuska Peak.
Part of the trail was hard to see, and the grass sure was tall!

Three of our four troops. . .even Buford came along for the fun.


This is some of the "fireweed" that grows wild all over, even in our backyard/frontyard.

Taking a break on the trail.



And the view from the top. . .well almost to the top. We didn't quite make it due to time.




AK State Fair-Lumberjack Show

So we attended the Alaska State Fair 2010. . ."Imagine If. . ."
We had lots of fun. One of the biggest highlights was attending the Lumberjack show.
What a show they can put on too.
Here are some of the many events that they performed.
Ax throw.....
Fastest to saw three disks. . . .


Tree (or pole in this case) climbing. . . .


Log rolling jousting. . .


And the log roll.



We all had some really good laughs!
