LDW Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Brian and I had a great time. We got to see Anchorage, Palmer, Talkeetna, I even got to climb a butte. If you ever get the oppurtunity to go there dont miss out. All the people were great.The blacksmiths were talented. Pat and Sandy, were marvelous hosts. We ate good, slept good, I even got to experience an earth quake while I was there. Between the mountains, of mountains, the glaciers, the wildlife,and the beautiful weather Alaska is not one of those places where you would say it nice to visit but you would not want to live there. You want to visit Alaska and never leave. Here are the pics of the blacksmithing https://picasaweb.go...nn/AABSPictures# and here are the pics of the scenery https://picasaweb.go.../AlaskaPictures# Thank you to everyone, I had a good time, and look forward to coming back one day.

LDW Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 AABS for Association of Alaska Blacksmiths. Hear is the article they did with the local paper while we were there.http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2011/07/23/valley_life/doc4e2b9f8907537734876259.txt Frosty even got a few words in. It was a pleasure to meet you Frosty, ya'll got a good thing going up there. Brian and I got to eat some of that smoked salmon, (sallllmon) its like eating candy. This was one of the best kept secrets Alaska has. Maybe this link will work.http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2011/07/23/valley_life/doc4e2b9f8907537734876259.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K. Bryan Morgan Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I really wanted to go to this but money and scheduling, mostly money, kept me from it. Its very cool to see all the pics and I can see I missed a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Pat looks fit as a bass fiddle. He can bring his new hammer to the iron pour in March and break iron with it, NOT! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
