Tram and Tailgate


Imagine a Ski Resort that is open in June. What I can't imagine is how anyone gets to this place in the winter. Alyeska is about an hour down the coast from Anchorage - a huge resort with a Tram and assorted ski lifts etc. We had a great ride to the top and lunch overlooking the mountainside and hotel.


Now imagine starting a softball game on an unlighted field at 8:30pm and ending at 10. The photos you can view at the Kodak site (click here) include a tailgate party after the game and as you can see, it is still quite light around midnight when the last of the pics was taken. It must really take some time to get accustomed to this light - people just keep going, doing normal daylight activities late into the night.
