Grandkids Contest

It's been a while since we had grandkids contest, so here we go.

What is another name for Mt. McKinley?

What does BMW stand for in Alaska? (hint: it's not the car)

What lake does Governor Sarah Palin live on?

Prizes to be determined upon return home.


The 'adult contest' only had one respondent. The question was 'After what real life character was the tv show 'Sgt Preston of the Yukon' based?

Sue got the right answer......Sam Steele was a RCMP who took on the task of cleaning up Dawson City during the gold rush days. Congrats, Sue!!

We're packing up to head to Anchorage. Till we get wifi again,

Take care, have fun, and be safe.

  1. Ron, I think your mountain pictures look fine, but if you want to make them seem larger, about the only things are to get closer or to use a stronger telephoto lens.
