Mat-Su Valley


A few folks have asked us if we have seen Sarah yet. We tried, but this is the closest we could get. She lives behind all those trees. That is her plane.

John liked this view, and it is even more special because of the old boat that was left high and dry there a number of years ago. We were told it has been the subject of many pictures. In fact, the Mat-Su Valley's visitor's guide contains a similar picture.

Carol can't seem to get her fill of sled dogs. This one had beautiful blue eyes. They would have given the puppy to her, but Florida is not a good place for huskies.

We visited a couple John meet on a web site for Navion/View motorhomes, and they took us to a "poor man's" sled-dog kennel.


Palmer and Wasilla are part of the Mat-Su Valley. The glacial soil and long hours of sunlight consistently produce world-class vegetables. The Alaska State Fair is held near Palmer, and two years ago we attended and were able to see huge cabbages and other unusually large veggies.
