First of all, thank you very much to those of you who have participated in my photo commenting thus far! They have been very entertaining. I have to admit, that was just my sneaky way of making you do all the work because my blogging brain was fried. But thanks to you, I’m all charged up again today.

Let’s Play a Game
Caption my pictures! Yes, I am giving you creative freedom (kind of, because I can actually delete comments if I want so I ultimately have all the power…as always). Below you will find a smattering of pictures taken over the past several days. They are numbered for your captioning convenience. Scroll down to the comment box below after viewing the pictures. Simply include the number of the photo and how you would caption it. V’iola! You’re an active blog participant and photo journalist all in one! Don’t let anyone say you didn’t do anything useful today. C’mon does it get any more fun than that?! I mean, you’re already here…I know you wanna play.

Addendum
I must clarify some details in reference to yesterday’s post, Moving Day!. As of the blog post time, no fish had been caught. Well…
Moving Day!
Farewell hotel rooms. Farewell miniature coffee pots. Farewell slow w-fi. My days as a vagabond are over. The final destination has been secured and Chels-ified. Wooooooh! Yayyyyy! Hallelujah! However, I regret to report that I did not take any pictures of the moving events yesterday. Not a single one. I have failed you. Don’t abandon me…I’ll take some tomorrow. I promise! AND in the meantime, you can check out my dad’s blog for some immediate gratification.
Soldotna: A Runner’s Paradise
Okay, I may be jumping the gun on this a bit. I don’t suppose the running conditions are quite so ideal in February, but right now I LOVE IT! Temperatures in the mid 50s-60s during the day, light breeze, paved trails as far as the eye can see, challenging terrain, and just enough fear that a bear could be around the corner to keep me moving at a faster than average pace. BUT the real reason I love running here is the scenery. I can’t take in enough breathtaking views.
Decompressing
Each day presents the challenge of deciding what story to tell. During this huge transition so many new experiences, precious moments, challenges, and memorable things happen on a daily basis. I could share with you today about all of the new people we’ve met, the challenges in acclimating to a new town and time zone, or the moment I accidentally got into the wrong truck, but these are not the stories I wish to share.
Day 8: Soldotna, Alaska
We made it!!! We finally made it! We have reached the maximum number of consecutive travel days before insanity sets in. After 9 hours of 20 questions, I Spy, and story telling today, many of our fellow Alaska Highway travelers likely believe we’ve surpassed that point.
