As we continued our amazing research trip into the interior of Alaska, we had the privilege of seeing one of Alaska’s (and the United States’) most incredible sights. The Alaska Pipeline.

And another part of our interior Alaska trek was North Pole, Alaska. Here’s a great picture of Julee at Santa Claus’ House hugging a giant stuffed Polar Bear.

North Pole, Alaska is where our characters’ are from in NO SAFE HAVEN. This deliciously yummy croissant french toast is from a little cafe’ in North Pole and probably the best french toast I’ve ever had!

Guess what this is? Any idea how much mail they receive here every year? Take a guess…

Julee, myself, and Karen at the Cafe’ North Pole – which will be featured in Book #2. The research was oh, so hard…

This trip was full of great memories, but more than anything – great friends. This is one of my best friends, Leah. I miss her.

Keep watching for more pictures and fun stuff from our trip back to our beloved Alaska…
