We didn't have a set schedule of what we were going to do while in Alaska, but we wanted to stop by and visit our friend Angie "Charlie" Howell, who's stationed at Elmendorf AFB near Anchorage. (She and Russ had both been stationed at Travis AFB in the Bay area of CA as air traffic controllers while Charlie and I were both assigned to the Military Equal Opportunity Office at Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo TX.)
This picture was taken on Elmendorf AFB. The salmon had just finished the spawning run a week or so earlier. That would've been pretty neat to see.
These next photos were taken at Chugach State Park. It's amazing how tall the mountains are considering Anchorage is at sea level.
Due to the mountain heights (and cooler temperatures), there was still plenty of snow by the time we visited.
Rest assured, Russ did NOT peg me with the snow ball in his hand (though he wanted to).
