Hello all!

It’s been a busy first week of work for Wes, he’s jumped straight into a full orientation schedule with clinical shifts in various areas of Providence Alaska Medical Center, and third-ride time on the aircraft. (No flights as of yet.) Julie has been busy pursuing employment options, and we will hopefully have good news to share by the end of the week.

The Canon hasn’t come out of its case enough, and for that, I (Wes) apologize. Above is a panoramic photo from the drive through Canada. Specifically, this is the White River, near our last campsite in Canada, the Discovery Yukon Lodgings. Amazing place with very friendly hosts, and a shy black bear somewhere around we never got to see. We would highly recommend this for anyone on the Alaska Highway. Be aware, the road gets very rough after this point.

So, after a busy first week at work, what were we to do? Go the the last weekend of the  Alaska State Fair, of course! Julie wasn’t a fan of the wind in Palmer.

So, we found her a hat!

We’ll add more photos from the Fair on the FaceBook page, internet upload speed is limited where we are, and this post is taking forever to update! The Fair was fun, and the giant vegetables were amazing!

More to come soon! -Wes
