Canadair Ducks At The Palmer Airport July 27th, 2009

Ducks

Had to stop and take a photo of the two “Ducks” at the Palmer Airport. Every summer there is a regular air force at the Palmer airport. They have a lot of cool planes. I don’t know what they all are but I like them.

I’ll have to try to get photos of them all. I think the two in the photo are fire bombers that can scoop up water from lakes on the fly and drop it on the fires.

Pioneer Peak Palmer Alaska

I was on my way home from putting up signs this evening and saw this view. If you look close, there are two rainbows.

Alaskan summers…so nice.

King Salmon Fishing At Eklutna Tailrace June 16th, 2009

Categories: Alaskana, Wasilla Real Estate News

Eklutna Tailrace
I was on my way home from Anchorage yesterday and was a little early for an appointment in the Butte so I stopped off to see what was happening at the Eklutna Tailrace.

It was a beautiful day to be fishing. I didn’t see any fish but talked with a some people who said there were a few rolling. The action wasn’t hot but the weather certainly was. I think it was close to 75 degrees without a hint of wind.

The cool think about this fishing hole is that there is great handicap access. A wheelchair bound person can wheel right to the waters edge and fish…they chose one of the best fishing spots for the wheel chair as well.

Wasilla Tea Party April 16th, 2009

Categories: Alaskana, Wasilla Real Estate News

The Wasilla Tea Party was extremely well attended yesterday. There were close to 1,000 people at the event in the middle of the afternoon. That’s pretty good for a small town. Here are a few photos:

There were some Ron Paul Supporters:

It was at the Wasilla Lake Park at the corner of the Parks Highway and Crusey Street. The photo below expresses the general feeling of the crowd.

Don Young showed up to give a speech and there was also an open mike for people to have their say. Looks like this will likely be an annual event.

Happy New Year! Wishing you a warm and joyous New Year.

If we have much more of this global warming we are going to freeze to death.

Hopefully this will be the coldest day of the year.  At least we know that every day is getting lighter between now and June 21.
