Time for a caption contest! Anyone?

I’m finally home with high speed internet, and able to post the photos from my little trek through Wasilla and the Mat-Su Valley this weekend. First a big hat-tip to my spouse who chauffeured me around Wasilla for two hours this afternoon and obeying dutifully every time I yelled “STOP!!” I tried to capture the spirit of what makes the Valley unique, so I didn’t photograph Home Depot, or Walmart, or Lowe’s.

There were some interesting signs of Palin around. And I ran into a friend who was sporting a McCain – Palin t-shirt. I said, “So you’re a fan?” and she said, “I LOVE Sarah! She’s my hero. I just need to get some duct tape to stick over the McCain part.” A new and interesting perspective. There are lots of them.

I have good friends and family who live in Wasilla and other parts of the Valley. The Valley is quirky, occasionally scary, often funny, and sometimes just downright unexplainable. Anyone from the area will recognize many, if not all of the places I photographed. All the Wasilla photos were taken on main roads. Click on the photo to get a caption.

I hope you enjoy your virtual Alaskan safari through the Valley, where Sarah Palin has lived and was raised since infancy. This is her world folks, and her executive experience before she became Governor in 2006. Buckle up.

Use the photos as you will but please credit https://mudflats.wordpress.com if you do. Thanks.

Enjoy!
