Alaska, the last frontier!
I've always loved the great outdoors and this has made our fall tour such an incredible experience. We learned so much about the state (which, really, doesn't feel at all like it is part of the U.S...) and couldn't be more thankful for the experience. One morning we took off for a radio interview to promote the concert before heading off on a journey to see what we could find in the mountains. Just the drive in itself was breath taking. The snow capped mountains surrounded us as we drove along an inlet shore taking pictures while keeping an eye out for bear and other animals. Although we did see a spout from a surfacing whale, we didn't come across any other wildlife until we stopped at a wildlife conservation center. The conservation area is there to help rehabilitate wild animals and young orphaned animals that wouldn't have a chance in the wild without some help from people. For us, it was a great way to get up close and see some incredible wildlife in it's natural environment with the short time we had in Alaska. We saw brown bears, bison, elk, musk ox, caribou and even fed a baby moose. (Not a good idea to try in the wild....) I wish we had more time to hangout in Alaska, and it was a great adventure for all of us.
We enjoyed some great food and company at a few local restaurants and had caribou burgers, elk burgers, Alaskan black halibut tacos, and other interesting foods that none of us had really tried before. This morning I set out from our hotel in the city to find a cup of coffee and came across several people going into a big conference center. Inside was a huge room just jam packed with people and natives who were selling crafts, jewelry, animal furs, photos, salmon jerky and all kinds of interesting things. Just walking through the isles was a culture lesson in itself. Hunting seals, whales, and other animals is just a way of life for these people, and I'm just amazed at how they can survive such harsh environments. My ears are still cold after writing this, and I'm ready to fly back to L.A. and be in the sun once again!

La Crosse, WI

The day that I fell into my dreams
You told me that this love would last forever
It brought me back
To
Life
It feels like there is nothing
That I couldn't do
I know the seasons change
But I'll never let it rain
Gave all he had to live his dream
Though nothing in the world could change his feelings
He needed someone
To
Love
It feels like there is nothing
We'll make it there
We'll make it there
It's just passing by
You should follow through
See your dreams come true
Like there's nothing left to lose

Sleep? Please?
Jon: "Alright Aakon, what do you think? Should I give it a roll, or throw it high?" Aaron: "Definately roll it.. Cause if it comes down hard and fast in a mole hole you're screwed."
That was an exchange between me and Jon during a very intense game of bocci ball. It was the Jon and Awesome, shoot.. I mean, Jon and Aaron team vs. Chris and Craig team. We had a relaxed day of traveling mixed with some frisbee and bocci ball, followed by a very intense night. After playing a show in Rochester MN, we had to pack up and be on the road by 10pm to make to our next destination 4 and a half hours away. Not a big deal right? Since we're usually up till 3am anyways.. Well that next morning we had to be at Dordt College by 9am to set for Chapel. It ended up going really well though, and we had a great time! Although the atmosphere was a bit.. putrid smelling at Dordt, but the actual school was one of the coolest we had been to yet! They had a bowling alley and we bowled several games for FREE!! And no joke, I bowled a 223 somehow. Anyways, We've got another show tonight at 8pm at Morningside college, we'll see you there!
Love, Aaron
