Day 32. Today marks one month since we left St. Louis. We spent the day panning for gold. We were given a sample pouch with a few gold flakes in it to get us started. We panned our hearts out at Crow Creek Gold Mine, but to no avail. It gave us an appreciation for how much work goes into panning. By the time we were done our legs were sore, our backs hurt, and our spirits were dampened. Regardless, the experience was fun. The girls did some last minute shopping. Then we went to an Anchorage well known diner for supper: The Lucy Wishbone. Great pan fried chicken! We then took the girls to the airport and relunctantly bid them goodbye. May the angels fly with you. Tomorrow we head back to Fairbanks to make final preparations for our flight to Fort Yukon on Saturday. We have to remember to put on our dramamine patches tomorrow night--the plane will be small that takes us to Fort Yukon. We are a bit anxious about this next chapter in the sabbatical but trust that God will use it for good according to his promise.
Miles for the day: 106 miles. Miles for the trip: 6,349 miles.
