Alaska 2011

After we left Juneau, we flew to Anchorage, rented a car, and continued our collecting trip. We visited Wasilla, Soldotna, and Fairbanks, staying a few days in each place and collecting.

In addition to working, we managed to find some time for Alaskan style fun also.

 

Our main focus in Fairbanks, where we stayed in the UAF dorms, was working at the University of Alaska in their fly collection.

Generally the weather was good and so was the collecting. We arrived July 18th and left August 12th. We saw fresh snow in the mountains on our way out of town. As we have always said, Alaska is beautiful. Never having tried the winter there, we confidently say that we prefer the summer.
