07/07/2010 - Wednesday - SPECIAL

Just a short special note.

After we walked around Talkeetna this evening we walked back to our cabins. It is really just one large cabin divided into four cabins. Judy and I were sitting on the wood swing on the cabin porch and Karen and Frank were in their room. We heard a noise and felt the the porch move. A few minutes later Karen asked us if we felt anything. We joked about what all was going on.

While we were watching the late news there was a report that an earthquake occurred at 7:15 pm, at 5.3 on the Richter Scale, centered near the town of Willow. We drove through the town today when we came across Hatcher Pass. That road intersected with the Parks Highway at the town of Willow.

I guess one can look at this as either we were about 5 hours to soon (i.e, we were there around 2:30) or the earthquake was too late.
