My only regret is that it happened early enough in the year that a lot of places were still closed for the long winter. Things were starting to pick up while I was there, and the official start to the high season came on May 15th, but still some roads and trails were closed due to snow.
Nevertheless, I had a ton of fun both with Kana and without. I was on my own for four days while she started work. In classic Wandering Jimmy style, I decided to go for a long drive. What started as a goal to sleep above the Arctic Circle morphed into a trip to Deadhorse, Alaska, the northernmost point one can drive to in Alaska.
Two words that come to mind in describing Alaska: Vast (this coming from a Texas boy) and beautiful. It was truly a great experience, and I was really bummed when it came to an end.
All my photos from the trip (actually, only about 10%) can be found here.
I also uploaded a bunch of pics from my time in Denver pror to leaving for Alaska. They can be found here.
