We were watching the news this morning and there was a report about the Taylor highway being washed out due to weekend rains. The highway was washed out in several places between Chicken and the road to Eagle. Around 30 people were stranded. This was the Top of the World Highway we took from Dawson City to Chicken. We talked to Vicki, Lowell and their friends before leaving camp. We drove to Wasilla (home of Sarah Palen) and took the Knick Road to see the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Headquarters. I got to hold a puppy. We stopped at a museum in Knick but it was closed. Behind the museum was an Athabascan cemetery with "spirit houses" over the graves. We continued on to Anchorage and parked in Mary and Phil's driveway. They have a beautiful place in Anchorage. Very shady, green grass and Mary has planted some really pretty flowers. Her Lilac bushes are blooming and the fragrance is marvelous! They had a picnic to attend for the end of soccer season for Jacob's team, the Spyders. We met them at the Hill Top Ski Area and had a great time.
