On Tuesday morning (January 11, 2000), our internal clocks woke us up at 4:00 am Alaska time. Thanks to Barrett Willey, owner of Four Season's Yamaha in Caribou, for picking up the tab. We ended the day with Scott taking us to the Lone Star Restaurant for a great steak dinner at 2:00 am Caribou time. Scott then gave us a quick tour of Anchorage (population of 250,000) where we met up with 'Mortimer The Moose", who was busily munching on tree buds in downtown Anchorage. We loaded up his Chevy Suburban (the Alaskan Cadillac) with all of our gear and he drove us to The Long House Alaskan Hotel where we received a warm welcome and a 30% discount.
Scott Kieffer (another former Caribou native) took excellent care of us. We were met at the airport by Connie Pelletier (a former Caribou native) who came by to say hi, offer her assistance, and wish us well. Our final flight to Anchorage (6 hours) was pleasant, thanks to the nice lady who conversed with McCarthy all the way, so we didn't have to. The second leg of our flight from Boston to Minneapolis was good except for the two crying babies in the row behind us (no rest for the weary!). Mike McCarthy overcame his fear of flying, which was unfortunate for the man in the seat next to him, because he had to listen to Mike ramble on about our trip for the one hour flight to Boston. Peter (Kirk's daughter) and Alyssa Gagnon, who came down with us to drive the car back to Caribou. We drove to Bangor International Airport to catch our 11:20 am flight to Boston.
