My truck and I drove through Washington State and Canada to get to
Alaska. It was a very long ride! Alaska is sure a long way away! We saw
an Emperor penguin raising its baby it was so cute! Next we saw a polar
bear. We stopped in the state capital, Juneau where we ate fish. It was
so good! We didn't see very many people. Alaska has such a hard climate
that not many people want to live there. We were lucky enough to see the
Iditarod, it is a very famous dog sled race. I even got to pet a huskie.
Alaska is cu a big state and it is also dangerous. There were lots of
people taking cruises around the Alaska Peninsula and up through the
Bering Sea. We stopped at a big city called Anchorage and thought we
might visit Mt. McKinley but the snow was too deep to get there. From
there we drove to Nome. We could almost see Russia from there! Alaska is
the most extremely cold state. I think I want to get a little warmer so
I'm headed south to California.
