The previous blog from Judy and Mike shares our wonderful experience in Haines, Alaska. Danny and I wanted to also thank all the wonderful new friends we made in Haines. When people in a community take the time out of their busy lives to make travelers welcome in their town – it is really something special! We made memories in Haines that we will never forget and we plan to keep in touch. Thanks again to Roger and Barb Maynard for opening your home to us, allowing us to wash our old Fords in your driveway, treating us to breakfast, greeting us at the ferry and arranging a meeting with our fellow Model A enthusiast Mary Manuell and last but not least – allowing us to have some “puppy” time with Elsie! Judy and I will never forget sitting on the stone ledge overlooking
the blue-green bay and watching the boats go in and out while throwing a ball for Elsie to fetch. Also thanks to Gary and Juanita for the wonderful article in the Haines News that we were able to share with all our friends and family that are following our trip blog. Judy and I are already in love with the homemade lip balm that you gave us – definitely a must in cooler climates. These project opportunities are highlighted in the Libyan Projects Market 2012, the latest report to be published by MEED Insight, the research and viagra generic sildenafil analysis arm of MEED. First trimester exposure can increase risk of congenital viagra no rx defects. There are some people who prefer the older ways of doing viagra online discount things. For instant erection, it is recommended to utilize cheap cipla tadalafil Tadalis SX 20mg. Mary Manuell is a long time resident of Haines and knew that we were in town with our Model A’s and wanted to meet us. After hearing Mary’s story about how she and her sister drove their 1931 Model A truck to Alaska from California in 1953 to Haines and then made their home in a primitive log cabin for a few years – our little adventure pales by comparison! On Saturday we attended the annual river raft race and July 4th fireman’s barbecue and had the chance to sit with our friends and listen to a wonderful community chorus sing patriotic tunes. Our friend Gary Lidholm was one of the singers proving that he has many talents. Like our own small towns the folks here wear several hats to make the community that they love a safe, friendly, wonderful place to call home. We appreciate your kindness and making us feel at home during our nation’s birthday.

The article in the Haines newspaper was great. I was afraid, however, that this trip would change you…and it appears that my fear has come true. According to the newspaper article, Danny is now known as “Dan.” Well, at least I can say we knew you when you were Danny. Whoever you are by now, we wish you and “Tam” and “Sir Michael” and “Dame Judith” a safe and memorable trip back home.
Hi guys, you don’t know me, I’m a Haines resident that stumbled on your page from Rogers’. Just wanted to say you have a beautiful car and I’m bummed I didn’t get to see it. Haines is a place that can grow on you fast as long as you’re not up in a winter storm for your first experience. Glad you came through and had a good time.
