darrel Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 This post is in the Wal-Mart parking lot. In the winter when it is very cold you plug your vehicle into it so as not freeze up the engine or else you leave the vehicle running.

Scarlett O'Hara Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hi Darrel, Twice I've scrolled thru your Alaska travel pics, but twice will not be enough! Always I have dreamed of an Alaska road trip, but never, even in my wildest imagination, did Alaska loom so colorfully. Who could have predicted the quirkiness? Or the $13 slice of watermelon!  It's a feast for the eyes, that's sure. You must be having the time of your life.  Stay well & be safe (enough). Thanks, *so much* for posting these pics!
