Very Cool. We live off Lake Otis and Tudor if you remember where that is.

I miss The Campbell Creek Classic, living here at that time you probably know what that is, it was a big deal then...
Anchorage has really changed a lot since the late '60 some good some bad. Like everywhere I guess.

rain would be good,lots of rain....

I bet it has changed tremendously, I was in the 7th grade went to Romig Jr. High, (not even sure if that is how it was spelled?) but I don't remember the Campbell Creek Classic. Sorry - I remember camping near Eagle River and going to the state fair in Palmer oh the good old days.
