From the
Editor
As I told you last month,
this newsletter is definitely going out late.
We have been very busy since we issued the August newsletter. And, yes, we have had lots of fun doing
things we don’t often do. The
We trekked to
Now about our
We left
On Sunday morning we checked
out of our hotel and went to the train station to board our train for
After arriving to
On Monday we took the Denali
Backcountry Adventure tour. This was a
12 to 13 hour bus tour through the
Other fun facts:
A
bear eats 250,000 berries a day.
A
moose eats 70 lbs of leaves per day.
A caribou can lose up to 1 pint of blood a day to
mosquitoes.
Caribou can run 45 miles per hour.
The weather in the park was
completely unpredictable. One minute it
was raining and cold and the next minute it was sunny and warm. The conditions changed so frequently that
every time we stopped for a stretch/potty break we had to clean the windows
from the mud that accumulated on them. I don’t think I have ever seen a
dirtier bus than that one was when we got back to the hotel. They must wash the outside and clean the
inside of the bus each night to be ready for the next day’s trip.
At the end of the road
(literally), we stopped for lunch at the Denali Backcountry Lodge that was
built right next to a raging river in a valley far away from all civilization. Tourists had an opportunity to pan for gold
or take a tour of Fannie Quigley's home.
We chose to stay near the river and enjoy the sights and peaceful sounds
of the water rushing over the rocks.
When we got back to the
hotel in the town of

Each family got their own 4
seat Jeep Wrangler to drive. Kevin
started the trek driving and we soon found out that there was a problem with
the 4 wheel drive. On more than one
occasion, our vehicle began "crab-walking" where the back wheels went
one way while the front wheels went another.
After a few times of resetting the 4x4 function, the Jeep was
manageable, at least until we reached our destination.
Each Jeep was equipped with
a radio for all the cars to communicate with one another. During our journey through the back country,
our guide told us about life in
At the end of the 12 mile
trail, we arrived to a remote campsite where a young man by the name of Nate
had fixed us a pot of beef stew and prepared fry bread for us to eat. We stayed for a short time listening to
stories from the summer-time experiences Nate and his peers had while living
out in the wilderness. While spending
time with Nate, our tour guide (George) checked out our vehicle and learned
that our brakes were no longer working (something that Kevin already learned
while driving, but didn't mention to the rest of us because he didn't want to
worry us.)
We traded vehicles with our
tour guide on the way back and changed drivers as well; it was now time for
Brenda to drive. Brenda turned out to be
an adventurous driver and had a lot of fun splashing through the mud on the way
back to the starting point.
Our tour guide dropped us
off at the train station and we headed back to

This is quite a construction

We
have renewed the account that Wanda Jackson had set up at the photo sharing
website, picturetrail.com for the Roosevelt Alumni: http://www.picturetrail.com/rooseveltalumni. She had posted many pictures from past
reunions, class panels, and old schools buildings along with write ups about
them. We thought you might find these
interesting if you haven’t visited this site in the past.

First and foremost, thanks for what you do with the
newspaper! I hope you have as much fun
in
Once a month is great. Mike please
relax and take care of yourself. My
mother, Peggy Johnson, always told me, "Don't worry about things until
they happen and then take care of it!"
I was a worry wart. She said a
person could worry their life away!
Have an AWESOME trip and good luck with the new
computer glasses!
Carolyn and Mike, I think you make a great team!

Loved the "Lost
in the 50s" in your latest Newsletter. Made me a bit homesick! I look
forward to each issue. Just keep up the good work, as time allows of
course. Enjoy your trips this month.

The Land of the Free and The
Home of the Brave – Francis Scott Key
We have heard our national
anthem all of our lives but now it will take on a whole new meaning. It is now time for each of us to step up to
the plate and make sure our flag, and all it stands for, continues to stand tall
and wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave, especially now
when what it represents is under attack by internal political forces, bent on
fundamental transformation.
