Well after a very fun and exciting week hanging around Anchorage, I'm finally leaving tomorrow for the open road. I have made so many new friends here. The couchsurfer Eric I was staying with, had his birthday on Saturday, we had a great weekend celebrating it.
Took me a long time to upload all these pictures and videos, so enjoy!
