Guess what? Juan didn't mention that it is 200 miles over to Prudhoe Bay. Isn't that hilarious? So we had to fly over there before we could get on the Dalton Highway. Only an hour. I won't embarrass Beanie by telling all the pleading and cajoling and, and, and to get her on that short flight. It would have been so easy to fly to Memphis...but noooo. I could wring Beanie's neck if i didn't love her so much. I will skip on over to the Dalton Highway.
But now that I see the vehicle that Juan is hired to drive down to Fairbanks, I am getting excited.
The problem is that although Juan has finished his training for this, he has not actually driven down the Dalton Highway before!!??Yipes.
I am thinking he is happy to have two praying old ladies going along.
Today's entry will be short. I will write more when (If? haha) we get to Fairbanks. (Hus)Ben, I am on my way!!
By the way, I know-I KNOW I kept saying four wheeler. But then whada I know, I'm just a little old Lady!! Here is a picture of our transportation.
Love, annie
We got to know Juan and Mary even more as we drove down the Dalton Highway. Mary knew the same hymns that Beanie and I know, so we sang part of the time. They would be married in the spring. You might be interested that we sent them round trip tickets to Memphis for Memphis in May that year. They stayed with Beanie; but we all had fun together. Glad Ben got to meet them too.
