Alaska

If you've ever wanted to visit or are planning to visit Alaska, this is
a great photo journal and will give you a sampling of what you may see...

We've put together this 55 minute show and due to several requests to be
able to view individual photos without having to run the complete show,
we have now updated the CD to include all the photos in the show plus
an additional 600+ photos which adds up to over 1300 full size photos
for your viewing pleasure.

We're making this CD available for $12.00, plus $3.00 shipping and handling.

We have included 661 framed photos with captions on this CD in power show format with instrumental music in the background to help break the monotony of just viewing pictures. It will play full screen at 600 x 800 or 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. The show is broken down into five parts with a short introduction to the trip. Part one takes you across the USA with some interesting stops to out of the way places. Part two goes through Canada again with many interesting stops. You will notice that we do not hesitate to go out of our way to see something if it looks the least bit interesting. Parts three and four take you to many of Alaska's scenic wonders that a lot of visitors never take the time to see. And the last or fifth part takes you from northern Alaska down to Hyder at the southern most tip by way of the Cassiar Highway and back east by way of the northern USA and Canada's Niagara Falls.

This trip covers 16,500 miles and has us on the road for 105 days as we leave Delaware on June 2, 2002 and travel down the Blue Ridge Parkway into the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and Cades Cove. We travel to Louisiana to be with our youngest daughter as she has her first child. We then head northwest through back roads of Texas and New Mexico. Stop in Colorado to visit relatives, then head for Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains and Yellowstone National Park. We drive through Montana, Idaho (where we tour a silver mine) and Washington state. Crossing into Canada on July 1, 2002, we spend the next 3 weeks visiting places such as the old gold mining town of Barkerville, the Alcan Highway and the 460 mile long dirt and gravel Dempster Highway which takes us into the Arctic Circle and the Northwest Territories to the town of Inuvik. Visit the gold rush town of Dawson City in the Yukon and take the ferry across the mighty Yukon River, where we travel the Top of the World Highway into Alaska on July 20, 2002. We stop in Chicken, Alaska... Spend 2 days in Denali Park... Fly around Denali in a small plane... Hike on Glaciers... cruise on Prince William Sound... Visit Valdez... Cruise the Alaskan Gulf looking for sea life, including Orca whales... Drive along the old railroad bed into McCarthy and Kennicott... Fly over the Wrangle Saint Elias Mountains... Visit with Grizzly bears in Haines and Ride the White Pass Railroad in Skagway. We stay in Alaska till around the end of August, then start heading home by way of the Cassiar Highway with a stop in Hyder, Alaska. We tour the Canadian Rockies and the Icefield Parkway then come back into the states in Montana. We cross the northern USA by way of Michigan's upper peninsula than cross over into Canada again to visit Niagara Falls before heading back home in mid September with a total of 3300 photos. Over 1300 of these photos are now included on this CD.
