Alaska - Earthquake Park

"On March 27, 1964, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America shook all of Southcentral Alaska. The Good Friday Earthquake was originally recorded between 8.4 and 8.6 on the Richter Scale and later upgraded to a magnitude of 9.2."

"[Earthquake Park is a] site where huge tracts of land slid into the Inlet, destroying 75 homes. The park now features an interpretive display explaining the quake, along with the area's geology, flora and fauna." Information from here

Steve and I had some issues connecting with my jumping and his trigger finger. We never were able to sync up so I decided just stand there.

Steve on the other hand had another idea...



And then he had to figure out how to get down...
To be continued.... (a couple more posts and then I'm done with my amazing trip to Alaska)

Fun in Sun, one step at a time. I had goofy shoes on and each step was crooked in one way or another. It seemed a little sketchy lol
