You know you're in Alaska when::

• you eat moose for breakfast, salmon for lunch, and halibut for dinner...all in one day.
• you wake up in the middle of the night to gunshots cuz there's a Grizzly in the bed of the neighbor's truck.
• you climb a mountain at 10pm and it's broad daylight.
• you gotta break out the winter garb on July 5th cuz it's 44 degrees.
• you see Mt. McKinley on the way to church.
• you swerve to avoid black bears chillin out on the highway.

Truly, the good times never end.

One of my fave parts of summer Alaska visits is the trip to Seward for the 4th o' July...

Mainly cuz of this action.

This mountain's been conquered by runners on the Fourth for 85 years. It's a beast.

Daang, this coulda been me! Someday, it's happenin... you can bank on it.

I love that nearly anywhere you look, you're blown away by the majesty of God's creation. It's breathtaking to just look out the window as your trippin' down the road.

And to think it's a tiny glimpse of a mere hint of His glory! Mann...

"You make beautiful things..."
