In 1964, a 9.2 magnitude earth quake hit Alaska. Some areas sank up to 12 feet. The areas that sank filled with salt water, thus, killing the trees. The dead trees you see at the base of the mountain are the result.

July 4th weekend

We went to Montana Creek for the fourth of July weekend. Can't do fireworks here because it is daylight all night. We took the kids swimming around midnight. As you can see, it is still light.
The King Salmon were jumping in the creek behind Seth.

Adam and Caitlyn. Adam ran into Jerry's truck's tailgate. That is what the band aid is on his head.

Jerry and Hoss watching Salmon.

Seth being Seth.


I love this picture.

Adam pouting.
That is the Susitna River behind us.

This water comes from the mountains and it is FREEZING!

Seth looking at Mt McKinley. The map he is looking at shows the mountains and their locations in the background.

Mt McKinley is in the center.


Mt McKinley is above my head and slightly left.

This is the view on the Denali Highway.
