USA Hockey - the Alaska Train - Day 6

08.27.2010
Taking the Alaska Train from Fairbanks to Anchorage through Denali. It was a 12 hour ride leaving around 8am from Fairbanks and getting into Anchorage around 8pm. There was some beautiful scenery along the way going through Denali Park and Reserve. We didn't see Mt. McKinley as it was too cloudy but we did check out a wicked bridge called Hurricane Gulch.

Mike the train guy.



Police Officer Joe and his wife, Kathy, picked us up in the unmarked police car... I think that he brought her with so I couldn't play with the buttons:) He dropped me off at the airport, I picked up the rental car and picked Tara up. She flew in to work the seminar. We grabbed some food and went to bed as we had an early morning seminar.
