Leaving Alaska

On September 21st Krista and I left Alaska, "outward bound" for Seattle, WA.  Winter was creeping in rather quickly.  Apparently Alaska doesn't understand Fall, because Summer seemed to drift into Winter, with only a quick glimpse of the glorious colors of autumn.  On the day we left we enjoyed a blizzard near the AK-Yukon border.  I have never seen snow flakes this size before.   It was like a bag of cotton balls being poured upon the earth.  The Yukon-uneventful, asides from a cracked windshield.  Animals spotted: moose, caribou, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, bison, and lots of carrion.  After five days of driving we arrived at the Emerald City (thankfully).
