Took a ride about 40 miles south of Anchorage to the Alyeska Resort as I heard the view from the bar was amazing. The drive there rides along the Turnagain Arm, a waterway which connects the Cook Inlet to the Pacific. Very scenic. The road had many places to turn off and take photos, which I took advantage of. On one turn out, I noticed something in the water, which turned out to be a Beluga Whale. Tried like heck to get a picture, but this is the best I got. It just seemed that it wouldn't come up in the same spot.

When they first started advertising the festival it was 12 burger restaurants and 200 beers. That became 10 burger restaurants and 100+ beers. There was 7 burger restaurants and one of them was vegan. They didn't have anywhere close to 100 beers - 23 breweries (I walked around and counted) and only two of them had more than 2 beers. I'd say at least 10 of them only had 1 beer. This was the first time they had the festival here, apparently it's an annual thing in Charlotte, NC. If they do it here again next year I'll pass.

I had 2 of the burgers, one with chili, bacon and cheddar and one with guacamole, jalapenos and ghost pepper sauce. They were both really good.

We’d love to take an Alaskan cruise. Our checkbook doesn’t support the idea.

What is your employment?

Actually, not up here on a cruise, just work.
But we did do an Alaskan Cruise a good number of years ago. People don't realize how large this state is. When we did our cruise, the farthest north we were was Juneau, AK. I was in Fairbanks this week which is over 1,000 miles north of that still.

And good bar trivia, and can't do it here because you will google search it.



Ask what is the most northern State? Answer is Alaska

Ask what is the most southern State? Answer is Hawaii

Ask what is the most western State? Answer is Alaska

All very easy. But what is the most eastern state?......and even many google searches won't come up with this but the answer is Alaska. There is a portion of the Aleutian island chain which crosses the International date line, and have an eastern cordinence.
