In April 2009, my wife and I were given an incredible opportuntiy to visit Alaska for a week. Jodie is a member of COPAS (Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies), and their spring national meeting was scheduled to be in Anchorage. Naturally, I chose to tag along. We flew into Anchorage on Saturday, April 18 via Alaska Airlines. It was about 11:00 at night by the time we arrived at the hotel (interestingly, it didn't get dark until after 10:30). Sunday, we jumped in the car and headed north out of Anchorage, toward Talkeetna, accompanied by Tom Wierman, president of COPAS. I shot 252 digital photos this first day alone, setting a standard course of action for the trip. Almost all of the photos from our trip (over 1,200) turned out to be spectacular - it was difficult to single out just a few for the website. What follows is just a hint of what we saw over the course of that week.
