Mt. Redoubt Rolls In...

This is what it looks when you drive directly into a huge Volcano Plume that has come to the ground in a cloud.
Brings to mind that movie.. The Fog....
We decided to travel around in south Anchorage on Sunday.. but we should have stayed home...

As we were driving along the coast.. BAM in comes this cloud, on the ground that blocked all most all sunlight... it looked like snow... I opened my window and was hit in the face with large granules of Volcanic Ash coming down about the size of??? the tip of an ink pen.

We got out of there.. but soon it had covered the land and was encompassing land from Anchorage all the way up to Wasilla and beyond.

We Left the Lower 48 March 20th 2009

We left the lower 48 on March 20th, 2009.
We had no idea what we were headed for but knew we loved all the great scenery in Alaska.
















Our friend was there to see us off. My children, Christian and Megan were excited.

We made arrangements to pick up a Rental Vehicle and drive to the airport.
















Megan said good bye to an old friend.































Christian said his Good-Byes as well.
