(well you get the idea).<BR/><BR/>Sorry to read about the saga of your knee, I've had troubles with my knees since my mid-twenties. Hopefully your knee is on it's way to healing. <BR/><BR/>Glad to be of service with the web site!<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-66281198750546775342007-05-31T02:36:00.000-06:002007-05-31T02:36:00.000-06:00I loved the story of the woman with her arms up in...I loved the story of the woman with her arms up in the air. Very cool!<BR/> <BR/>Your story reminded me of the time a friend of mine came up from Texas for the first time. She could not get over the mountains which had long become just a part of the view - nothing spectacular to me anymore. <BR/><BR/>I was surprised every time that she gasped and ooo'd and awww'd as we drove along. I appreciated her "reopening" my eyes then to the beauty of our mountains here in Alaska.<BR/><BR/>I still look at them, think of her and smile.Connie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823945953153064691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-5475688789991368002007-05-30T22:23:00.000-06:002007-05-30T22:23:00.000-06:00Thanks, guys.

There's just so much now that I want to know about her.<BR/><BR/>David ... did you know you're my neighbor? I love your Web site. Still check it most every day, even though I don't go outside to ride my bike as often as I used to.

We began in Anchorage, drove to Denali, Fairbanks, and then down the Richardson Highway toward Valdez, taking it all in. Finally, as we neared Valdez, I stopped one last time in Keystone Canyon to show them Bridal Veil and Horsetail falls. She (I'll call her "G") suddenly began clapping, and I saw her start to tear up. I asked her if she was okay. "Yes, it's all just so... beautiful, I feel like I need to applaud nature."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-49762297752355706472007-05-30T11:18:00.000-06:002007-05-30T11:18:00.000-06:00...this rainy, isolated, rainy, expensive, rainy p...<I>...this rainy, isolated, rainy, expensive, rainy place...</I><BR/><BR/>I guess you've noticed it's been raining! We(very rarely) have had summers or periods in which we were hoping it would rain - hard to believe I know.<BR/><BR/>A very touching post, some of the visitors (especially from the Midwest) have dreamed and waited all their lives to come to Alaska to experience what so many of us here tend to take for granted.<BR/><BR/>David KentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-57460846552213649922007-05-30T07:44:00.000-06:002007-05-30T07:44:00.000-06:00Hi Jill,I have been a fan of your blog for about t...Hi Jill,<BR/>I have been a fan of your blog for about two months. You have inspired me to get up and try the bike again. I have not been on a bike in 12 years (been having babies). Just reading about your experiences and adventures brings out an inner drive to ride and run again. So Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Your post today moved me to tears, don't we all get in the rut of everyday. Your taking that moment to see the world through the eyes of that elderly woman was priceless.
