Day 37 Pictures |
The final day started cold (44F) and wet! The Lion's Head overlooks
Matanuska Glacier

Just "One more day, 100 more miles!"

Shelly, the nice construction Flag-Lady

Kimberly, the nice Pilot Truck Lady, carried me, Dixie, and bike 9
miles over the construction zone

Not the kind of road you want to ride your bike on!

air

King's Mountain and the Matanuska River whose valley we followed down
the Chugach Mountains

Trek is over

To all of my friends, old and new, and family members who watched and
prayed for us along the road to Alaska, Dixie and I would like to say
a big THANK YOU! If you were here, we'd throw a huge end of the road
party!
